How can my child get involved in a 4-H club?
To enroll in 4-H, you should be between the ages of 8 and 18.
Gilpin County partners with Jefferson County 4H so that we can
both have the advantages of larger membership and more opportunities:

Adult leaders wanted!
If you would like to share your talents and enrich the lives of
children in Gilpin County, please volunteer to be a 4-H leader.
What does it take to be a leader?
• Interest in young people.
• Interest in communities.
• Communication skills.
• Ability to plan and organize.
• Good role modeling.
• Available time.
Position duties include:
• Holding regular meetings with members to guide them in their
project work.
• Developing competence in projects by attending training
or reading project materials.
• Passing on learning opportunity information to 4-H members.
Many volunteers talk about the personal satisfaction they receive,
recognition of their efforts, leadership skills which are developed
and the influence they might have on the life of a child.
You could be:
An organizational leader (organize a club for
the year round meetings)
A project leader (help with special interest projects
such as cake decorating, model rocketry, leathercraft, or many other
projects - takes less time)
