How can I enroll my child in 4-H? Call or email your county office of the Mississippi State University Extension Service. It is listed at extension.msstate.edu/ county-offices and in the phone book with other county offices. Extension can tell you what you need to know.

How much does it cost? 4-H doesn't charge membership dues, so joining 4-H is free. But some projects might cost something to get started--like, if your child wants to do photography, he or she will need a camera or a phone that can take pictures.

Does it matter where you live? 4-H has things everybody can do, in the city or the country or anywhere in between. You can find 4-H in every county in Mississippi!

How old do you have to be? 4-H is for kids of almost any age. Children in kindergarten, first grade, or second grade can be in Clover Kids. From third grade to age 19, kids can be in 4-H.

What about parents or guardians? Parents and guardians don't have to become 4-H leaders when their child joins 4-H, but there are lots of ways they can help. They can lead special projects, drive 4-H'ers to activities, make refreshments for meetings, and much more! In fact, your whole family can be part of a lot of 4-H activities!

Who are 4-H volunteers? 4-H volunteers are people who care about kids and who donate their time to supervise activities. They are carefully screened and trained to make sure that 4-H'ers are safe.

Who sponsors 4-H? 4-H is provided by the Mississippi State University Extension Service, working with your federal, state, and county governments.
