Happy New Year from the Breeders and Feeders 4-H Club. As the club embarks on 2025, it’s the perfect time to start planning for an exciting year of activities for youth in the summer and fall. Enrollment is now open for the Geauga County 4-H program.
The Breeders and Feeders 4-H Club is one of the largest 4-H clubs in Geauga County, and it is dedicated to raising awareness about the Ohio 4-H program. The club reflects the values of 4-H by helping young people build lifelong skills while strengthening the Geauga County 4-H community. Through leadership, citizenship and life skills development, the club is shaping the community’s future leaders.
Youth ages 5-18 are welcome to join. The Cloverbud program, designed for children ages 5-7, introduces young participants to 4-H, while the traditional program offers opportunities for youth ages 8-18. Adults are also encouraged to get involved as volunteer leaders and advisors. With over 200 projects to explore – including sewing, woodworking, livestock, science and engineering – there’s something for everyone.
For more information about joining the Ohio 4-H program, contact the Geauga County Ohio State University Extension Office at 440-834-4656. The enrollment deadline for the 2025 program is April 15.
