4-H is a great way for kids to learn leadership, new skills, public speaking, teamwork, community service, as well as make friends and have fun. Redwood 4-H is an inclusive co-ed club, focused on building community and a sense of belonging for youth 5-18 years old in the Castro Valley/Hayward area. Come to our next Club Meeting to learn all about our Club and the Projects and activities we offer.
Club Meetings - 2nd Thursdays (Sept-May)
Join us for mixers, presentations, guest speakers, service projects, announcements, games, snacks and time for members and families to meet and socialize.
Elected youth officers plan and run the club meetings, learning valuable parliamentary procedures, organization and leadership skills. The meetings consist of ice breakers, Business, Educatoinal Program, Project Reports, Service Projects, Recreation and Refreshments.
Projects
Projects are smaller groups of 4-Hers that typically meet once a month to learn by doing and acquire skills around the project's topic. Redwood 4-H offers many Projects catering to youth with all kinds of skills and interests. Once per year, each project brings the snacks to one Club Meeting and the members give project reports on what they are learning.
Socials, Service Projects and Workshops
We have two family potlucks in Dec and May and we have service projects to give back to the community throughout the year. We participate in fun 4-H County events and workshops.
Fundraising
Sees Candy fundraiser sale in the fall.
Annual holiday potluck and auction where each Project contributes items for the auction.
Members volunteer for a shift at the 4-H Cake Booth during the Alameda County Fair (and receive free fair entry and parking pass the days they volunteer).
Being a Project Leader is a great way to make a meaningful impact on your community. Do you have any interests, hobbies or skills that you could share with youth? Would you like to work with another Co-Leader to start a new project? From Geocaching and Tabletop Games, to Cooking and Photography, there are projects that fit any level of expertise. Some projects have guides to help you get started or you can create a brand new Project. Learn more on our Volunteer page.
