FRONTENAC 4-H ASSOCIATION

Frontenac County has been home to the 4-H program for almost a century. 4-H is noted for emphasizing qualities such as leadership and responsibility, training effective speakers, developing life skills, instilling a sense of community, and offering opportunities such as camps and scholarships. Cloverbuds is offered for 6-8 year olds, as well as the regular 4-H program for 9-21 year olds. Each club is led by a minimum of 2 screened, trained volunteers. There is an annual membership fee.
