4-H

4-H is a fun, educational program for young people, ages 5-18. Joining a 4-H club is a great way to have fun, learn new things and meet people. Clubs meet in schools, community centers or at a 4-H volunteer's home. No membership fees are required, although some project materials and activities may have a cost. 

The best way to determine what's right for you is to contact the 4-H office or your local County Cooperative Extension office.
