Marshall-Putnam 4-H and Extension Foundation

Marshall-Putnam 4-H and Extension Foundation Bringing the resources of the University of Illinois to the people of our counties.

03/02/2026

Every year, families join Illinois 4-H with great questions—and even longtime families appreciate a refresher now and then. We’ve heard you, and we’re excited to share a new resource designed to make the 4-H experience clearer and easier!

This new family handbook is the perfect starting point for both new and experienced 4-H families—covering what 4-H is, how clubs work, project options, meeting basics, and all the ways youth can grow through hands-on learning and leadership. A great guide for understanding the full 4-H experience from day one. Find out more at go.illinois.edu/ILNewFamBook and watch for more new resource highlights coming soon!
