What is 4-H?

It's a learn-by-doing life-skills program that empowers young people.

For more than 90 years, Extension has administered a 4-H Program in Nevada. We teach youth communication, self-concept, team-building, problem-solving, decision-making, self-responsibility, conflict resolution, aspiration-building, goal-setting, community leadership and career development.

4-H Clubs

A 4-H Club is an organized group of at least five youth from three different families who meet regularly with adult volunteers or staff for a long-term, progressive series of educational experiences. 4-H clubs provide positive youth development opportunities to meet the needs of young people to experience belonging, mastery, independence and generosity — the Essential Elements — and to foster educational opportunities tied to the land-grant university, University of Nevada, Reno, knowledge base.

4-H programs and classes

All Extension, Clark County 4-H Programs are based on 4-H curricula backed up by a network of over 100 public universities.

Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)

Through hands-on, inquiry-based learning, youth in the program explore STEM and STEAM, integrating science, technology, engineering, mathematics and the arts to build creativity, problem-solving and essential life skills. 4-H STEM engages youth in real-world challenges through collaboration and scientific practices.

4-H Camps

Extension's 4-H Camps provide all of the benefits of a 4-H experience, coupled with the fun of taking hands-on learning to a new place. We host different camp programs year-round, from day to overnight, focusing on various 4-H projects and topic areas.

The first-ever 4-H Camp in Nevada was held in 1930 on the University of Nevada, Reno campus. Today, Nevada 4-H Camps are hosted in various counties across the state. Nevada is home to two 4-H Camp facilities that host many 4-H Programs throughout the year and provide the fun and wonder of camping in the great outdoors. Nevada 4-H Camp at Lake Tahoe is located in Stateline, Nevada, about 60 miles southwest of Reno, Nevada, and Nevada 4-H Camp at Alamo is located in Alamo, Nevada, in the southern area of the state.

Volunteer with us

We are currently recruiting for different volunteer roles, including:

Project leaders: Our 4-H project leaders guide youth members through specific project areas. They help organize and facilitate a series of project lessons, help members complete project record books and prepare youth and projects for special events. A project leader teaches members in a specific project area, such as livestock, robotics or sewing.
Club general leaders: Our club general leaders are adult volunteers who provide overall leadership to a 4-H club, overseeing group structures and operations, while serving as a club's contact with Extension 4-H employees and National 4-H Council. They coordinate activities with members, parents and other leaders.
Special events volunteers: Our special events volunteers assist in leading activities, programming, or the logistics and execution of annual and special events.

We have a variety of other volunteer opportunities available to suit your interests and skillset, so we encourage you to apply and talk with an Extension 4-H staff member about ways you can contribute to the program.

Before working directly with youth, all Extension 4-H volunteers must complete a fingerprint background check, interview and provide references. Any questions about volunteering for Extension 4-H in Clark County can be directed to our volunteer program coordinator, Ryan Tesar, at rtesar@unr.edu.
