Program Highlight:
"4-H in Whatcom County"

The Whatcom County 4-H program utilizes the County and State Fair each year to showcase the products of our 4-H youth. These are the products that are the result from a year’s worth of hands-on learning and project work, guided by the presences of a caring adult volunteer club leader.

4-H leaders are family and community members that care about youth and believe in providing safe and challenging environments where youth learn to grow into responsible, competent and caring citizens.
