Marquette County 4-H

4-H members in Marquette County have the opportunity to connect with their peers and volunteers through online programs, at home program kits, and future face-to-face hands-on experiences.

With your support we can expand access to those opportunities for young people in Marquette County.

Support the Marquette County 4-H program

Your contribution will provide many opportunities for our local youth. For example, purchasing updated educational curriculum and equipment supports 4-H Club Leaders and helps 4-H Youth continue learning from home. A donation of $25-$35 will pay for a full set of curriculum and $50 can cover equipment.

With 4-H not meeting in person right now, virtual programming needs are high. This includes supplies for kits to send to members. A donation of $75-$100 will pay for supplies and postage to send kits and activity instructions to 10 families.

Once 4-H is able to meet face-to-face, youth will also need program scholarships. One of the most popular programs is 4-H Exploration Days at MSU. A donation of $170 covers the balance one youth pays after the 4-H Council Scholarship to attend 4-H Exploration Days. Another very popular program is U.P. 4-H Camp. After the 4-H Council scholarship, families pay $45 per camper.

About Marquette County 4-H

We face unprecedented times. However, your support is still needed to help today’s youth become tomorrow’s leaders.

4-H is a youth development program of Michigan State University Extension located in Marquette County. 4-H Council President, Tess Jezek, is excited to grow the local program here in Marquette County. “CrowdPower is an easy way to give to our local youth. 4-H is all about helping as many young people as possible and funds raised will go directly to that cause by providing more scholarship dollars for those who really need them.”

4-H Online Re-Enrollment Guide

Each youth is charged an annual Participation Fee of $20.00 to join 4-H (with a maximum of $60.00 per family). However, this year, the price has been cut in half for our first 200 members to get enrolled. Thanks to a generous donation from First Bank, the first $10 of each member's participation fee has been covered! Checks can be written to your club or to MSU.
