We recommend that you speak with the contact person before going to your first meeting, since some new clubs are in the process of forming and some of the existing ones may be re-organizing. Please also keep in mind that holidays and specific club events may cause changes to this general schedule.
In addition to 4‑H clubs, we also offer partnership activities with various schools and other youth-serving organizations. Cooperating agencies include Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey; the US Dept. of Agriculture; and the County Commissioners.
For additional information on scheduling, new clubs forming, to discuss a club you would like to see organized, or for any other questions you may have about the 4‑H Youth Development Program, please reach the 4‑H Office at 609-465-5115 ext. 3605.
The 4‑H Youth Development Program is part of Rutgers Cooperative Extension. 4‑H educational programs are offered to all youth, grades K–13, on an age-appropriate basis, without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. For additional information, contact Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County at 609-465-5115, ext. 3605, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
