4-H In-School Clubs
Fourth and fifth grade students participating in in-school 4-H Clubs learn about citizenship and leadership. Peer-elected club officers help to run meetings as students learn about parliamentary procedure. Youth have the opportunity to compete in a Dramatic Reading and Presentation/Demonstration Contest.
Real Life Program at CCMS
Seventh grade students at Carroll County Middle School learn about “Real Life” by participating in a simulation to see if they can make it through a month on their paycheck.
4-H Youth Entrepreneurship Program (YEP)
Carroll County 4-H and the Town of Hillsville Farmers Market are excited for the Youth Entrepreneurship Program (YEP). Our goal is to provide the opportunity for youth to learn about entrepreneurship through hands-on experiential learning. During this program, youth learn about marketing, record keeping, and more. Youth gain soft skills such as communication, teamwork, leadership, and work ethic as they attend two interactive workshops and sell their products at the Town of Hillsville Farmers Market.
The Pipsqueaks Poultry 4-H Club is run by volunteer leaders Amanda Allen and Lauren Chitwood. If your youth is interested in learning about poultry, raising and showing birds, and participating in fun and enriching projects, this might be the group for you.
Several community members are interested in starting a Homeschool Community Club this Fall (2023) If this interests you, let us know.
