4-H Community Club Program
We Love 4-H is a group of devoted parents, 4-H volunteers, local community leaders and 4-H alumni concerned about the current California 4-H Program budget deficit that impacts our local and state program. Together we are working to come up with sustainable ideas and action plans to protect the 4-H program we love.
