This is the best news of all! There are not county or state membership fees to join 4-H and you are not required to purchase a uniform.  Each member is charged a $1 accidental insurance fee ($2 for members enrolled in the horse or ATV project).  As a member, you are required to pay for the expenses associated with the projects you select. These expenses range widely depending on the project. For example, owning and showing a horse would be a much more expensive project than a sewing project.

Club activities are usually covered by money-making projects conducted by the club or by each member contributing money toward the cost of project supplies and/or providing some of the project supplies.  Some clubs charge dues to cover the costs of project supplies and club activities.
