The Make-up of a Club

A 4-H club must have a minimum of five (5) members and two (2) families. Members (9-21 years old) pay an annual membership fee to support the ongoing creation of new projects, programming costs, insurance fees, etc. The club and district may also charge additional fees for programs they provide.

The 4-H year extends from September 1 to August 31. Most 4-H clubs organize in mid fall, are active through the winter months, meeting one to four times per month, and wind up with Achievement Day in late spring/early summer. Single project clubs usually combine business and project meetings. Multi-project clubs usually have a monthly joint business meeting and separateproject group meetings. In addition to project activities, clubs pland and carry out social, recreational and community service functions.

Most clubs on PEI are multi-project, meaning they try to offer whatever projects new members may like to take, however clubs are limited to projects for which they can find leaders.
