With 70 clubs ranging from 5 to 92 youth members, clubs are an important part of the Lancaster County 4-H program. 4-H clubs are led by adult volunteers, hold regular meetings, elect youth officers, recite the 4-H pledge, learn together and do community-service projects. Many club members participate in contests and fair events. Pictured is a Clover Kids 4-H Club meeting in which youth learned computer coding concepts by resequencing the chicken dance.
