4-H is an organization designed to help youth become productive citizens and catalysts for positive change to meet the needs of a diverse and changing society.
Thank you for your interest in Buffalo County 4-H!
Our program is open to ALL YOUTH, of ALL ABILITIES ages 5 to 18. Annual enrollment is now open for the 2024-2025 4-H year! If youth wish to exhibit at the 2025 Buffalo County Fair, they must be enrolled by the June 15 deadline! Youth and Volunteers need to enroll each year. To enroll in Buffalo County 4-H, visit 4-H Online and log in with your previous year's credentials, or if you are new, create an account. The cost of enrollment is $10 per Traditional 4-H youth ages 8-18 (as of January 1 of the current year) and $5 per Clover Kid youth ages 5-7 (as of January 1 of the current year). To use a debit or credit card, payment must be made in 4-H Online as part of the initial enrollment. You can also pay at the Extension office by cash or check only.
Clubs
The purpose of a 4-H club is to provide positive youth development opportunities to meet the needs of young people to experience belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity! While joining a club has many benefits, youth can also join 4-H as an Independent member and work at their own pace. For more on clubs and how to start your own, visit https://4h.unl.edu/programs-clubs. If you would like to know more about Buffalo County 4-H Clubs, contact the Buffalo County Extension office at 308-236-1235.
Projects
Projects provide the basis of the 4-H program by offering various educational experiences. Carrying out a project will help the member "learn by doing" as well as learn "why" things happen the way they do. For more on projects, visit https://4h.unl.edu/projects.
