Welcome to the Queen Creek 4-H Community Club website

What is Queen Creek 4–H?

4-H is a youth program, for children aged 5-18.  Benefits of membership include increased self-confidence, making new friends, learning about specific project areas, and learning to be a “good citizen”.  As members grow within the program, they learn leadership and mentoring skills.  The Queen Creek 4-H program is a part of the Maricopa County 4-H program, which in turn is part of the Youth Development program of the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension Office.

Who can join?

Although entitled "Queen Creek 4-H" , the only resident requirement is that you live in Maricopa County.  For the 2005-2006 4-H year (October to October) we have over 260 members from Queen Creek, Gilbert, Higley, Chandler Heights, and Mesa.   4-H members must between the ages of 9-18 as of December 31^st of the current enrollment year; plus we offer a special program called “Clover Kids” for youth aged 5-8.  Adults are always welcome to join us as volunteers (we call them “leaders”!).

How does it work?

Members select specific project areas they’d like to participate in, such as dog, horse, photography, etc (please view complete project list).  They have lots of fun attending project meetings to learn about their project area (such as learn how to train and show a dog in an obedience class).  Additionally, all members participate in Community Club activities, including a monthly meeting for all members (1^st Monday of each month – October through May), community service activities, fundraisers, etc.  Community Club activities provide an opportunity for all family members of all ages to have fun together!

Is Queen Creek 4-H a Non-profit organization? 

 

Yes, Queen Creek 4-H is a non- profit (501c3) organization.

 

How is it funded?

 

Members pay a small annual fee at the beginning of the year (fee based on project selection) with most activities and personal equipment for the project (livestock, cameras, etc) paid for by each family.  Fundraisers and sponsorships provide additional funds needed to operate our club.  As such, we are deeply indebted to those local organizations and merchants who have so kindly donated time, materials or money to help our club.   We couldn’t do it without you!  We ask that you visit our Sponsors page and please support these organizations.   Additionally, one of our on-going fundraisers is participation in the Safeway E-script program and we ask that friends, members, and leaders of Queen Creek 4-H enroll.  Then, each time you make a purchase at Safeway and other member stores, a portion of the receipts is donated to Queen Creek 4-H.
