Is there a need in your community for a 4-H Club? Its not as hard as you might think!
Requirements to start a new club:
1.) Five of more members from at least two different families
2.) Two or more teen and/or adult leaders
3.) An initial plan of operation (for at least 3 months in advance)
4.) Elected officers
5.) All members enrolled in at least one 4-H project experience
6.) An official club or group name
1.) Five of more members from at least two different families

4.) Elected officers
5.) All members enrolled in at least one 4-H project experience
6.) An official club or group name
The next step is called "Chartering." A charter is a "permit" to use the 4-H emblem and be under the 4-H Organization umbrella. Our charter is an online application on 4-H Connect. The charter includes the application, club bylaws, employer identification number (EIN) from the IRS for non profit organizations, and current club bank account information.
If you have any interest in starting a new club, please contact Collin County Extension office, and we can go through all this information in a simple and easy format!
