The Frederick County 4-H Program is an Educational Division of VIrginia Cooperative Extension. Youth
from ages 5 through 18 are provided opportunities to realize their full potential in many areas. Activities
involving citizenship, community service, leadership and achievement are stressed in the 4-H
programs. Youth ages 5-8 are eligible for membership in Cloverbuds, a non-competitive area of the
organization.
Volunteer community leaders are the heart of 4-H as they work closely with Extension Staff to provide a
well-rounded educational experience for youth.
There are 16 clubs in Frederick County involving over 250 youth and adult leaders. Hundreds more are
involved in school programs in Frederick County. The community clubs meet in homes, churches and
community centers. Contact the Frederick County Extension Office at 540-665-5699 for the club
nearest you!
