4-H IS A COMMUNITY FOR ALL
Through life-changing 4‑H programs, nearly 6,000,000 young people take on critical issues such as addressing community health inequities, engaging in civil discourse and advocating for equity and inclusion for all. We believe in young people and their strengths and influence to improve the world around us.

Cloverbuds
Who can join 4-H Cloverbuds?
Cloverbuds is an activity that is made for kids ages 5-7 and it's a great introduction to a 4-H club experience serving youth ages 8-18. Community clubs serve youth ages 8-18 so Cloverbuds and 4-H are both great activities that can grow with your child!
What is a Cloverbud?
Illinois 4-H is the largest out-of-school youth organization in Illinois, where you “learn by doing” with fun, hands-on activities that teach skills you can use now and in the future! Cloverbuds is an exploratory program for youth ages 5-7 that helps promote healthy positive youth development and is a great launchpad into a 4-H experience.
When do clubs meet?
Most clubs meet once a month. 4-H members run the meetings, using parliamentary procedure with some help from club leaders. Cloverbuds may have their own club, or may join the larger club for a portion of the meeting before focusing on a special age appropriate activity.
Why Cloverbuds?
Cloverbuds helps kids develop confidence, social skills, decision-making abilities, subject matter knowledge, and physical skills in a safe space that allows for and encourages creativity and play! They will be surrounded by adults that are cheering for their success!
BUILD A BETTER WORLD
Illinois 4-H prepares youth to solve Illinois' problems by producing the leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, stewards, and builders we need. 4-H builds good leaders by giving them safe environments to practice all the skills needed to be successful leaders. Illinois 4-H knows that our very lives are inseparable from the health of our planet and work daily to save the world for this and future generations.
