Through their experiences in 4-H, youth have hands-on learning opportunities in areas that interest them, such as photography, performing arts, robotics, shop and wood science, engineering, computers, crafts and fine arts, animal science, and much more. 4-H is helping its youth members grow into compentent citizens by teaching them skills they will use well into their adult lives, including communication, teamwork, leadership, and citizenship.
4-H offers many different activities for youth in Kindergarten through one year past high school. Many opportunities in Waseca County 4-H are offered at either no cost or very little cost – it is one of the things that makes 4-H a great program for the whole family! There are also scholarships available to youth for overnight camps, leadership trips, and State Fair experiences.
In order to keep Waseca County 4-H affordable, we are hosting a Spring Fundraiser on May 21st. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly to Waseca County 4-H and will help fund monthly Adventure programs, scholarships, our new 4-H Garden, and many project-related learning opportunities.
The Spring Fundraiser is a very exciting event for Waseca County 4-H – it consists of a Pancake Breakfast with Chris Cakes’ and their entertaining pancake flipping and throwing, a huge garage sale, children’s carnival, and a petting zoo!
