4-H enrollment deadline nearing

Don’t be left in the cold this year. Monday, Jan. 15 is the deadline for Indiana youth in grades 3 through 12 to enroll online in the 4-H Program for 2018.

4-H prepares young people to be leaders in their community and around the world through hand-on experience alongside their peers and caring adults. Youth can learn life skills such as cooperation, leadership, decision-making, responsibility and more in the areas of Science, Healthy Living and Citizenship. A great opportunity to develop a hobby, experience camp and make new friends, 4-H is family-oriented and promotes family togetherness. Youth in grades Kindergarten through 2 may enroll in Hamilton County Mini 4-H at no cost.

If you are interested in 4-H but have some questions, want to enroll but don’t know how, or just want to pick up the new handbook, come to the Purdue Extension Hamilton County office on the 4-H Fairgrounds at 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville, or call (317) 776-0854 weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Information is also available online at extension.purdue.edu/hamilton.
