Community Service: Our 4-H club is active in the Norwin and Hempfield Communities. Our Annual Events include:

Westmoreland County Courthouse Beautification
"Summer In The Parks" N Huntingdon Kickoff
Irwin's Light-Up Night Parade and Farmer's Market
Personal Care Home Cooperative Projects and Visits

Wildlife: Like animals? Come and learn about all of the animals in Pennsylvania. Where they like to live. What they like to eat and what eats them. This project studies the Pennsylvania animal habitat and if you like the outdoors, come with us on a field trip.

Food & Nutrition: Learn food safety and preparation, as well as, good nutrition while baking up some delicious foods. Meetings are held at the leader's N Huntingdon home.

Horse: You do not have to own a horse to enjoy participating in this project. Meetings are held at various locations and times.

Photography: Like to take pictures or want to learn more? Camera techniques are discussed and pictures and project books are prepared for exhibit at the Westmoreland Fair.

Shooting Sports: Want to learn guy safety and like to shoot? We will teach you how to handle a firearm safely and become an accurate shooter. We have both 22 caliber and air rifle projects, and shotgun and archery. Practices are held at the Trafford Sportsman's Club at various times.

Rabbit: This is a wonderful small animal project. Youth learn how to care for, show and breed rabbits. Did you know that there are 45 different breeds of rabbits? We also take our rabbits to many of our community service projects. This fun group meets at 6 p.m. the first Saturday of each month at the Suburban Community Church, Irwin.

Arts & Crafts: Learn how to make all kinds of crafts like common household items. Meet about once a month in the North Huntingdon area.

Teen Leadership: Youth members are encouraged at all ages to take an active part in the leadership of the club. Become an elected officer of the club or chair a special committee. Youth, ages 13 and older, may become teen leaders and mentors for younger club members.

Clothing & Textile Science: After you select your pattern, learn to create, tailor, accessorize and model your outfit at the annual Fashion Revue. We meet February through June on 3 Saturdays of each month from 9 - 4 at the North Huntingdon leaders home

Plant Sciences : Like to grow things? Come and learn how to become a gardener with a true green thumb.

Cloverbuds: Tailored to the younger 4-H'er just starting out, ages 5 to 8. This is a fun way to get yor child interested in 4-H.

Poultry: Learn all about chickens. Maybe you can even figure out what came first, the chicken or the egg.
