The Ontario 4-H Program is about opportunities, personal development, making friends, and having fun. 4-H helps young people (10-21 years of age) learn self-confidence and new skills. Members also learn communication and leadership skills, problem solving, and goal setting. 4-H Ontario Members can choose to be involved in any of over 60 different projects, ranging from drama to woodworking, life skills to livestock, and square dancing to conservation.

Youth aged 10 to 21 before January 1st. of this year, are eligible to be a member. A 4-H club consists of a screened volunteer (18 years or older), and six eligible 4-H Ontario members.

If you are an interested 4-H member or 4-H volunteer, please see the Contact Us section or email our Secretary, Fran Cavanagh at peterborough_4h@msn.com

The fee to join Peterborough County 4-H is a fee of $50.00 paid annually to cover administrative and planning costs. This $50.00 is paid at the beginning of the 4-H season, and allows the 4-H member to join as many 4-H clubs as they would like. There is no limit!

Through 4-H, youth are encouraged to develop self-confidence, a sense of responsibility, as well as learn useful skills in communications, leadership, problem solving and goal setting. These skills are achieved by participating in one or more of the 60 projects offered by the 4-H program.

In every 4-H community, there are a variety of events beyond the club level in which members and/or volunteers can become involved.

 No experience is necessary!

4-H accepts people of any skill level. As the 4-H motto states- "learn to do by doing." Join any 4-H club you want without any experience, and you can learn a lot about the club matter itself. Also, when joining 4-H you learn valuable skills such as effective communication, teamwork, good sportsmanship and confidence. You also get to give back to your local communities and Peterborough County.

4-H is about having fun, learning, and meeting new people all at the same time.
