The Bedford 4H Club is a very diverse club.  Our members range in age from 5 to 18.  Boys and girls enjoy the wide variety of club activities throughout the year - working with animals, community service, learning new crafts, and going on exciting field trips.  Our members hold Junior Offices, and run the monthly business meetings themselves with adult leaders helping to plan meeting agendas.  Each year is different, with members deciding what they would like to learn and do.

The Role of Parents

Unlike some organizations for kids, 4-H is based on family involvement. 4-H meetings are not drop-off meetings. Generally, children are accompanied by a parent or other adult during meetings. This is important for safety around large animals and also to foster the family learning aspects of 4-H. Parents also help by organizing specific meetings or field trips, preparing meeting activities, assisting leaders, and sleeping overnight as chaperones at the Fair.
