Many Utah 4-H clubs meet in homes, which typically limits the club to 10 or fewer children, depending of the size of the home. This often means that as soon as a parent organizes a club, it is already full with their own children and a few of their friends. Consequently, the county 4-H office rarely has a list of clubs accepting new members. An exception is 4-H horse clubs, which are typically larger and often can accept new members.
For a child wanting to join a 4-H club, this means that there may not be an exisiting club available to join. For families interested in having their children participate in a 4-H club, we suggest getting several families to join together and organize a local club – sharing the fun and the responsibilities.
