4-H Youth Development
4-H Visa Debit Card - Get Yours Now!
There is a new easy, effective, and no-cost way to support 4-H in Kern County.
COVID-19 Update
*Face coverings are REQUIRED for anyone entering our office.*
In light of the recently issued regional stay at home order, please note that all in-person 4-H activities have been suspended. Any countywide, club, or project meetings must be conducted in a virtual format.
Note that this is a fluid situation. The University looks forward to resuming in-person activities when the public health emergency improves.
We encourage all 4-H clubs and groups to continue the utilization of virtual resources in order to maintain education and community cohesion during this trying time. Here are a couple of links to on-line projects and activities:
