Guided by North Carolina Cooperative Extension educators and adult and teen volunteers, 4-H'ers gain knowledge, skills and experience that help them become responsible citizens and leaders.

Mission: 4-H Pledge: I pledge ... my HEAD to clearer thinking, my HEART to greater loyalty, my HANDS to larger service and my HEALTH to better living, for my club, my community, my country, and my world. Motto: To make the best BETTER.

Painting our pumpkins this past weekend for the 2020 4-H Pumpkin Decor Contest!! 🎃

Iliana- Charisse keeping Jacksonville Clean. Community Service Project

Raygan is so excited about her 4h kits! She had a great time putting the drawing robot together 🥰 Thank you!!

I would like to get my kids into 4h could some one contact me with what I can do or what I need to do

We are excited to have the Onslow County 4-H join us for the Resource Night on Monday the 26th at 6PM. Thank you!

We will be relocating to the area in December with our 10 year old daughter and we were wondering if someone could explain the 4H program?

If anyone is looking for some great deals on horse tack and other items come out to Onslow Feed & Grain from 9-2p tomorrow to the 2nd Annual Tack swap. Especially anyone with youth riders!

Is there a Poultry Club for Children? I have found information on Horses, Swine & Goat but nothing on Poultry. I would like our son to participate in Poultry Showmanship at the Onslow Fair but can find no information about 4-H Poultry Club.

The Onslow County Partnership for Children is still accepting application for NC PreK and Three School. Children must be 3 or 4 by August 31st. Tell your friends!!
