Start something!

Form a 4-H club: the sky is the limit.

What do you like to do? 4-H is unique—you can form a club around anything or everything. Find some friends who think like you, get some interested parents or adults to be leaders and get started.  

4-H clubs are year round clubs. Oct 1 - Sept 30 is the official 4-H year but don't let that stop you from starting something this summer! 
You can be a part of something great:
  • Bike repair and riding
  • Hiking
  • Cooking and Fitness
  • Shooting Sports 
  • Youth in Government
  • Sewing and Craft classes
  • ...and more!

Please contact the Anchorage 4-H District office with any questions or ideas for 4-H in Anchorage.

Youth in Governance 
​N
avigate Juneau


There may be no better way to learn about the Alaskan legislative process than to experience it at the Capital.

Teens from across Alaska (Anchorage included!) were invited to Juneau for a week to immerse themselves in this year's proceedings. A mock legislative session allowed the teens to explore roles of lobbyists, committee chairs and constituents. Youth were also given the opportunity to meet Alaska's legislators and discuss experiences in both Juneau and their home districts. The Youth in Governance program demands much from its attendees, but that doesn't mean time isn't made for evening fun!

Information on the participant selection process can be viewed on the Youth in Governance webpage.

To learn more about this program (including scholarship opportunities) in the Anchorage District,  contact our office.






Rockets to the rescue!

National 4-H Science celebrated, 
"Rockets to the Rescue!" 


This event was open to all families and held at Valley of the Moon Park in Anchorage, on Friday, October 3. 
They built rockets and shot them toward the sky! 

4-H National Youth Science Day (NYSD) is an exciting, interactive learning experience that engages thousands of youth across the country in conducting the National Science Experiment. 

Students built and launched their own rockets and learned about rocket science and aerospace engineering.
