Welcome to the MSU Extension 4-H Program in Macomb County.  4-H is a learn-by-doing, fun educational program designed to help youth in their growth and development and to complement experiences received at home, school, church and other youth organizations.  Our goal is positive youth development that helps young people gain the skills and knowledge they need to be successful.  We accomplish this through our 4-H Clubs, 4-H Community Programs, 4-H School Enrichment Programs and the 4-H Youth Mentor Program with the help of caring adult volunteers.

Paper Clover Campaign: Support 4-H Through May 19th!

The spring Paper Clover campaign is May 8-19, 2013!  During that time, Tractor Supply Company customers can donate $1 or $5 at the checkout to 4-H. TSC will split 100% of the proceeds between county and state 4-H programs and the National 4-H Council.

We match qualified adult volunteers with Macomb County youth in need of guidance, encouragement, and direction.  The goal is to prevent youth from becoming more deeply involved with the Court or FIA systems.  We are a prevention program, proven to save county tax dollars by diverting youth from more costly levels of care and intervention.
