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.
