4-H Program flyer image

Throughout the year, 4-H will offer a variety of classes, workshops, and tours that we call Special Interest (SPIN) Programs. All youth, not just 4-H club members, are invited to participate in Special Interest Programs, and we find this is one of the greatest ways for young people to learn all about 4-H. Special Interest Programs are short-term and focus on a specific content area. The cost of each special interest program depends on the cost of materials and any fees assigned to the activity are set to cover the cost of supplies for the program. In some cases, donors or grants may fund supplies, which reduces the class fee or makes them free! To keep informed of special interest programs throughout the year, contact the Mecklenburg County 4-H staff to be added to our Email List. Workshops that are offered will be developed for a specific age group,  and only youth in that age range will be allowed to participate. Class size is usually limited, and pre-registration is ALWAYS required. You can register via Eventbrite by clicking the link for the class you are interested in! If you have any questions please contact Rachelle Purnell or Catherine Daniels at 704-336-2082. Please see list below for the Spring 2020 opportunities:
