Info session for new 4-H Club at MLK

In this club, youth (ages 9-14) will meet 1-2 times per month to explore their local environment and community through team building games and hands-on activities.

In partnership with the Minnesota Civic Youth Council, this 4-H club will engage youth to identify social and environmental issues in their community, conduct effective research, and improve our environment and community through legislature. Youth will meet local experts, create a research portfolio on a local issue, and participate in civil discourse.
