afterschool clubs
Generally, the most effective way to deliver afterschool 4-H is by developing  a partnership to offer a 4-H club within an existing afterschool (AS) program. This gives kids time for experience with some leadership in club officer roles while also experiencing hands-on learning activities that may reinforce concepts learned in the classroom. Here are a few sites with resources to get you started:

The national 4-H afterschool site has good resources, especially the training pieces
and tips for how to get the program up and running.


  • University of New Hampshire 4-H Afterschool
  • Colorado State University 4-H K-12 activity sheets




National 4-H opportunities
National 4-H Congress: an event for high school members celebrating depth and breadth of project mastery. Delegates experience inspirational speakers, participate in workshops and a large-scale community service project among other fun, leadership activities.
 
National 4-H Conference: a one-week, once-in-a-lifetime experience for high school youth, ages
15-18, held during the spring at the National 4-H Center in Washington D.C. Conference brings youth and their adult chaperones to the national table to share ideas of importance to them. One of the most important aspects of National Conference is not what happens AT Conference, but what youth MAKE HAPPEN once they have returned home; youth voice making a difference in local communities.
 
Citizenship Washington Focus: a week in the nation’s capital during the summer for high school youth ages 14-19, of hands-on experiences of government through Capitol Hill visits, field trips, and other leadership activities. Participants enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at our nation's capital and the chance to meet members of Congress, develop communication, leadership and citizenship skills through hands-on learning and group activities, and build new and lasting friendships. Participants stay at the National 4-H Center. 
 
Leadership Washington Focus: a week in the nation’s capital during the summer for middle school youth entering grades 7 through 9. Participants build confidence and motivational skills to lead others in meaningful action, practice effective inter-personal communication skills through group discussions and public speaking, work with others to create and accomplish goals, develop a personal leadership style, exchange ideas, practice respect, and form friendships with other 4‑H'ers from across the nation, and experience hands-on learning using the historical backdrop of Washington, D.C.

Application for attendance for any of the above national opportunities.
