Coryell County has experienced much success in not just learning but also competing in contests and showcase events. Pictured are high school-age members representing the county at the State 4-H Roundup contests, which are held each June in College Station.
It’s time to enroll in 4-H for the year! As the largest youth development program in the nation, 4-H offers kids a chance to develop life skills, make new friends, learn about their communities, and have fun! After joining a club, youths participate in projects of their choosing while learning leadership skills, social skills, and to serve in their community.
Coryell County 4-H has approximately 400 members each year, and Texas 4-H has more than 555,000 youth who are involved in 4-H project experiences.
With 42 projects to choose from, 4-H offers youth an opportunity to pursue their interests and explore those that interest them. The projects are divided into five key areas: Family & Community Health, STEM, Leadership and Citizenship, Natural Resources, and Agriculture and Livestock.
All 4-H projects are offered under the leadership of the county extension agents and volunteers who lead project groups, coach judging teams, and serve as advisors for 4-H projects. Coryell County has 13 clubs open for membership.
Information about the county 4-H program is available in the current membership guide on the homepage of the Coryell County AgriLife website (http://coryell.agrilife.org). Other helpful websites include: the Coryell County 4-H Facebook page (http://facebook.com/coryell4h), Coryell County Youth Fair (http://www.coryellyouthfair.com), and Texas 4-H (http://texas4-h.tamu.edu).
4HOnline is the official registration system for both youth members and adult volunteers. uses “zero-based enrollment” — meaning that each year, at the start of the enrollment cycle, all 4-H membership starts over, and everyone must re-enroll. To sign up, go online (https://v2.4honline.com).
