Portage County 4-H is a family affair. Everyone becomes involved in the learning, the business and the fun. 

• Learning To Learn - learning through experience Leading 
• Self And Others - working as a team 
• Relating To Others - accepting diversity 
• Communicating With Others - creative expression 
• Planning And Organizing - setting short and long-term goals

4-H'ers learn through experience in two ways: 

• Community involvement - volunteer time to help community needs 
• Life Skill Projects - develop self-esteem and lifetime interests

Cloverbuds allows 5 to 8 year old children to become involved with 4-H on a non-competitive basis
