Texas 4-H is part of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and the Texas A&M System. Founded in 1908, 4-H is the largest youth development program in Texas, reaching more than 550,000 youth each year.
4-H is a national youth development program growing the leaders of tomorrow. 4-H is a club for kids and teens ages 8-18. You may think 4-H is only for your friends with animals, but it’s so much more! In 4-H youth learn leadership, public speaking, various life skills, compete in 4-H events, have fun and make lasting friendships. You can participate in activities like shooting sports, food science, healthy living, robotics, fashion, and photography. There are so many opportunities for youth including college scholarships.
Our club meets every Wednesday from 12-3 for project meetings. We also meet every Friday for field trips or community service. We meet on the Northwest side of town near Shaenfield and 1604. Contact us if you would like to join us at sahomeschoolers4h@gmail.com
No matter where you live or what you like to do, Texas 4-H has something that lets you be a better you! Our 4-H motto, "To Make the Best Better!"

Community Service
We do several community service projects throughout the year. These are important for the kids to participate in. By learning to give back to their community, they learn empathy for others, kindness and selflessness. Some examples of projects we have done in the past are the food bank, Elf Louise project, nursing home caroling and pictures with Santa for the residents, and the diaper bank to name a few.
