4-H Afterschool & Summer Programs
Contact us
Delaware 4-H offers afterschool and summer programs at schools and community centers in each of Delaware’s three counties. These programs target under-served communities. Each individual site has its own specific age ranges, target groups and/or enrollment guidelines.
Are students in 4-H Afterschool/Summer considered to be 4-H members? Yes! In addition to club specific projects and programs, 4-H Afterschool/Summer members are eligible to participate in all 4-H contests, (link to main projects page) events, (link to calendar) and camps (links to camps page), both at the county and state level, as well as activities associated with the Delaware State Fair.
How are 4-H Afterschool/Summer programs different from community 4-H clubs? In addition to community 4-H club projects, 4-H Afterschool/Summer students participate in projects that they and their club leaders have developed. Unlike community 4-H clubs, 4-H Afterschool programs meet daily during the school year, during which members get homework assistance to help them improve their academic skills, receive nutritious snacks, and have organized recreation time in a safe and fun environment. During the summer, 4-H Afterschool/Summer programs also meet daily for several weeks for a summer camp experience.
