What is 4-H?

4-H is a youth based, volunteer, non-profit program that
focuses on improving upon today’s youth by involving them in our
communities and teaching them valuable leadership skills that will help
them throughout life.  Our motto, “To Make the Best Better”,
is something we as a club will always strive toward in all that we do.

How does 4-H work?
The San Bruno 4-H Club has a small farm and club house in San Bruno. The
club offers “hands-on” projects and activities, directed by adult
volunteers, for youth ages 7–19.  Each youth member enrolls in
the projects they are interested in, plus they attend monthly general
meetings, fun days, farm clean-up days, and other organized club
activities. A unique aspect of 4-H is that the club is run by the youth
officers and members, so members learn leadership, good citizenship,
and active participation in governance.

What has 4-H done for San Bruno?
The San Bruno 4-H club is very active about participating in
community events.  We can be seen at Operation Clean Sweep in
May, the Posy Parade in June, and Food and Clothing drives throughout the
year.  We also encourage all our members to exhibit project
accomplishments in the San Mateo County Fair every June and many of
our projects (be they animal exhibits, or clothing or artwork) can be
seen on display in the large animal barn and 4-H exhibit hall.
