Redwood 4-H Club
Redwood 4-H Club
Established in the early 1970s and run by a group of dedicated volunteers, Redwood 4-H is an inclusive co-ed club, focused on community building and serving youth 5-18 years old in the Castro Valley/Hayward area. Our monthly Club Meetings are in Hayward, but the majority of Project meetings are in Castro Valley. 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. Come to our next Club Meeting to learn all about our Club and the Projects and activities we offer.
Redwood 4-H strives to uphold the CA 4-H core values to create future leaders with a focus on teaching leadership, communication skills and promoting healthy living. We offer projects led by screened adult volunteers and teen leaders, catering to youth with all kinds of skills and interests. It's a fun way to explore different interests, learn new skills and submit projects to the Alameda County Fair.

What We Do
What We Do
Club Meetings - 2nd Thursdays (Sept-May)
Join us for mixers, presentations, 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, 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).
