Pinal County 4-H

Pinal County 4-H 4-H: Your portal to a world of opportunities. Join us today! Welcome to the Pinal County 4-H page!

Follow us to keep informed of county, state, and national 4-H events.

4-H is for youth ages 5-19 who want to have fun, learn new skills, and explore the world. Kids 5-8 join Cloverbuds, a non-competitive, fun introduction to the many projects available through 4-H. Youth ages 9-19 participate in 4-H by enrolling in projects and joining a club. In 4-H, young people make new friends, develop new sk

ills, become leaders, and help shape their communities. Arizona 4-H builds upon a century of experience as it fosters positive youth development that is based on the needs and strengths of youth, their families, and communities. Youth have the opportunity to participate in 4-H experiences that strengthen a young person's sense of belonging, generosity, independence, and mastery. Pinal County 4-H is part of The University of Arizona Cooperative Extension, a division of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

🍀 Calling All 4-H Families: Pinal County Jr. Livestock Board Needs YOU! 🍀

Head, Heart, Hands, and Health, that's what 4-H is all about, and our Jr. Livestock Board depends on volunteers who live it. We have 3 open positions, and each one is a chance to give back to the same program that has given our youth exhibitors so much.

Positions Available: 🏆 Scholarship Superintendent (2 Yr Term) 🍖 Barbecue Chairman (2 Yr Term) 🎯 Contest Chairman (2 Yr Term)

If you're a 4-H leader, parent, alum, or community member who believes in youth development, hard work, and the value of the livestock project, we want your voice at the table. Your leadership helps our kids build the life skills that 4-H and FFA are known for, from responsibility to public speaking to sportsmanship.

Let your 4-H voice be heard. Learn more and apply here: https://pcjuniorlivestock.org/updates

Together, we grow our future, one 4-H'er at a time. 🌟
