So, what is Cross-clubbing? |
|
Are you interested in cross-clubbing? Learning about a project outside of your "club?" |
A 4-H member that is enrolled in a club and wishes to engage in a project outside of his/her/their club, can reach out to the club leader and inquire about cross-clubbing. Projects like Geology (San Rafael Club), and archery are both projects that are open to cross-clubbing! And, there are more options! Check out the projects listed on the Marin 4-H Webpage and then reach out to the associated leader for more information! |
