With more than 200 youth, the Gem/Boise County 4-H Program supports young people from ages 5 to 19 with programs designed to educate, motivate, and inspire through hands-on learning activities.
4-H members can choose from a wide range of project areas. These project areas include photography, livestock animals, small/pet animals, fishing, foods and nutrition, gardening, shooting sports, veterinary science, leadership, citizenship, and much more. As members get older, more opportunities for camps, conferences, and leadership retreats are open to them. The Gem/Boise County 4-H Program supports over 93 screened adult volunteers and mentors who work with members on their project areas. The caring support of these adults helps to inspire our members to work collaboratively, take the lead on their own projects, and set and achieve goals with confidence. These essential experiences build a foundation of skills for their future.
