What are SPARK Clubs?

If you are looking to expand your horizons or work on a hobby, Lawrence County 4-H has new, short-term learning opportunities for youth in grades 3-12. These SPARK Clubs are designed to spark an interest in various topics, and they give youth at least six hours of instruction on the topic. This is open to youth regardless of current 4-H enrollment. If you are not currently enrolled, the fee will be $20, and this will also give you the opportunity to participate in any other clubs, projects, or activities open to Lawrence County 4-H members.
