Talbot 4-H Clubs and Resources

In Talbot County, youth participate in 4-H through venues including community clubs led by volunteers, in-school and after-school programs, and community events such as the Talbot County Fair, public speaking contests, and the Mid-Shore STEM Festival. Members choose from a variety of projects including public speaking, leadership, community service, visual arts, food and nutrition, sewing, photography, animals, gardening, science/technology, and many others.

Talbot County 4-H Clubs

Feel free to contact our volunteer club leaders and arrange to visit their monthly club meetings. Continue visiting club meetings until you find a club that meets your family's interests. Then the leaders and the 4-H staff can help you enroll your child if you have trouble with the online system.

    • Talbot County 4-H post that reads: Many Talbot 4-H members have been sewing masks for medical workers and others who need them, and we are grateful for their service to others. Autumn Redman is our first Talbot 4-H member to do an online visual presentation. In her video, she demonstrates how to make a mask as part of her healthy living project. Remember that all Talbot 4-H members are invited to post project demonstration or illustrated talk videos.
