Looking for a fun way to get involved in projects and earn prizes? The NH 4-H team has created the 4-H Clover Challenge to help youth and families safely participate in fun right there in their communities- if not their own backyards! Below learn about all the ways you can participate and engage in 4-H fun!
What the heck is a 4-H Clover Challenge?
The 4-H Clover Challenge (CC) is a great way to get involved in 4-H experiences throughout the spring and summer, trying new things, and earning clover badges along the way. Clover badges will be turned in at the end of June for a 4-H Clover Challenge Celebration for all youth and families as well as some other great prizes! Can’t join us for the celebration? No worries- the NH 4-H team has some other options that recognize all of the hard work (and fun) you had during the challenge.
What are the rules for me to earn badges?
4-H CC has different age levels for participation with different badge requirements for each age group. The following experiences are the minimum required for participation in the Clover Challenge.
