Clubs
Here in Broome County, we have several options for clubs. If you are interested in a particular club and becoming a member please reach out to the 4-H office for details.
SPARK Club:
Unique to Broome County is our county wide club. All Broome County 4-Hers are members of the SPARK Club. Each club meeting is unique and is an opportunity for youth to spark interest in a new area or dive into a deeper level of interest! Youth are encouraged to participate in club meetings that they find interesting which can allow them to create their own 4-H experience through experiential based learning opportunities and choosing their own path by selecting the offerings that excite them! Opportunities are provided throughout the month by the 4-H staff in a variety of modes including one day activities, short-term & long-term projects. Youth are encouraged to participate in county fundraisers, the county fair, and all Broome County 4-H events.
ALWAYS Accepting new members!
