4-H offers many opportunities! A volunteer with the Palos Verdes Peninsula (PVP) 4-H Club teaches a youth how to surf.
Young people ages 5 to 19 can join one of the 29 4-H Clubs around Los Angeles County.

Club Roster w/ projects offered
Each 4-H Club is run by a volunteer called a Community Club Leader and often, a number of volunteers who help youth with specific projects called Project Leaders. Each club offers slightly different projects, based on the expertise of the volunteers and interests of the children in each club. Check in with the designated club leader to find out more about what the club offers. 4-H enrollment for youth costs $8 per year. Detailed information about the benefits of 4-H membership can be found in the Member's Guide (pdf file).
If you find that there is not a club in your community, and you are interested in starting one, please contact Keith Nathaniel at kcnathaniel@ucdavis.edu, or Charlene Moore at moore@ucdavis.edu (if you live in the Antelope Valley). You can become a 4-H Community Club Leader and start a new club in your community.
Volunteers are always needed in 4-H! 4-H needs Community Club Leaders, Project Leaders, Resource Leaders, Camp Chaperones and more. Prospective volunteers are fingerprinted and oriented before becoming 4-H leaders. If you would like to volunteer in any capacity, please contact Rachel Surls at ramabie@ucdavis.edu.
