About
Our club’s focus is to learn and teach sustainability topics as well as perform related community service projects. We have six full members as well as four “junior leaf” members who are not quite of age to participate in some of the club’s activities yet. Together we pledge our head, heart, health and hands to our club, our community, our country and our world!

” I was lucky to live in an area that had strong 4-H programs when I was growing up. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the experience. My dad was even a 4-H leader of a wildlife project.

This includes community service and it includes learning about our ecological footprint. ” – M Schmidt, Club Leader.
