The Oswego County 4-H Program will be presenting another short-term Sparks Club. A ‘Sparks Club’ is a short, two- to four-session club that introduces youth to the 4-H program and the curriculum developed by 4-H educators. Youth joining a Sparks Club will be enrolled as a 4-H independent member for the 2023-2024 year.

Sparks - Small Pets will be a three-session program on small pets where youth, ages five - 18, will discover the diversity of pets! They will learn about different and unique animals that can be cared for as pets in your home, from reptiles to birds to small mammals.

Registration closes on April 9th and is required as space is limited. If the youth is not currently enrolled in the Oswego County 4-H Program, an adult must attend the first session on April 12th.

Fee

The fee to participate is $15 per youth. Enrolled Oswego County 4-H members are free.

Why 4-H?

The purpose of 4-H is twofold:

To provide youth with fun hands-on educational experiences that will help them develop life skills such as confidence, leadership, cooperation, and responsibility.
To provide interested parents and other adults with the opportunity to grow through working with youth.

Is 4-H for me?

Youth and adults alike will:

Have a good time through learning in new, enjoyable ways.
Make friends, belong to a group, give & receive acceptance and recognition.
Build self-confidence
Develop a desire to learn
Gain decision-making, problem-solving, and leadership skills
Become more interested in their community and the people in it
Get more experience in relating to and working with their family, their peers, and people of different ages
Learn, make, or do things that are appealing and meaningful
