4-H Home
About
Our 4-H program provides a creative a supportive environment in which all youth and adults can reach their full potential. Our local county program works to develop life skills to help young people become self-directed, productive citizens. We also work to empower adult volunteers who multiply the efforts of our local county Extension staff.
Our 4-H youth development program is a dynamic non-formal education program. It provides opportunities for youth to learn life skills and gain knowledge while having fun. The life skills learned in 4-H enable youth to become productive, well-informed, self-reliant, responsible adults.
The 4-H year runs from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30. The last day to enroll for the new year is February 1. Enrollment for next year will begin in October.

Quay County 4-H Record Book Forms
Record books are due to your club leader in October. All 4-Hers may type all parts of their record books. Parents remember this is the 4-Hers record book and the judges will have the discretion to lower points if the work appears to be an adult's. Record books may also be hand written. If you would like forms with lines, send an e-mail to Erin Smith and the forms will be e-mailed. Forms may also be picked up in the Extension Office.
Cloverbuds have their own special record book to submit. Parents can help Cloverbuds complete their forms and with writing. If they complete a record book, they will receive special recognition and prizes at the Achievement Program in November. They are also able to attend the Record Book Reward Party!
