Welcome to Person County 4-H! 4-H is one of the greatest youth development programs in the nation. In fact, with millions of youth involved nationwide, 4-H is the largest informal education program in the United States.
4-H is the youth development outreach of the Land Grant Universities, Cooperative Extension, and USDA. It is made up of a community of young people learning life skills who are supported in this developmental process by caring adult leaders. 4-H'ers are actively involved in educational projects that are fun and that use quality curriculum incorporating the most current research and knowledge available through the Land Grand University System.
4-H is open to all youth ages 5-18 (as of January 1st). Youth who wish to participate in 4-H club meetings, programs, contests, and events must be registered in 4-H Online. Active and returning 4-H'ers must re-enroll annually each January. Consult the NC 4-H Online Resource Page

4-H Equine Club
Ever wonder what goes on in a 4-H Horse Club? It’s a lot more than just time in the saddle. Our members are building life skills from the ground up! Here’s a look at what we do:
- Showing & Competing: From Western Pleasure to Gymkhana, we test our skills in the ring and practice top-tier sportsmanship.
- Hippology & Quiz Bowl: We’re students of the horse! We dive deep into anatomy, health, and nutrition to become true experts.
- Presentations: Confidence starts here. Our members learn to speak publicly and teach others about their passions.
- Record Books: The "business" side of horses. We track expenses, health records, and personal goals to learn responsibility and animal husbandry.
Whether you have a horse in the backyard or just a dream in your heart, there’s a place for you in 4-H. 🍀
Homeschool Club - NEW (enrollment starts Jan 1, 2026)
Club Leaders:
- Selma Barker

We strive for students to participate in 4-H local, district, regional and state competitions/programs. (Lots of opportunities for scholarships for those looking for college resume builders)
