4-H Community Groups

The 4-H Community Group is a transitional phrase for chartered 4-H Groups to become a Club. This Group status can be used for 2-3 years time to introduce individuals and organizations to the 4-H educational programs.

Youth involved in 4-H Community Groups are considered 4-H youth participants. Adult leaders are asked to account for the 4-H youth participants and other volunteers by completing both parts of the 4-H Group Enrollment Form.
