McDowell County 4-H

Help turn North Carolina green!!

It starts with just $4—and a goal to show support for young people in every North Carolina county.

In celebration of National 4-H Week, we’re coming together for the next generation of 4-H leaders. Our goal: receive at least one gift from each of the state’s 100 counties. With a gift starting at just $4, you can help turn the map green, county by county, and create more opportunities for young people to learn, lead, and grow.

I put my county on the map for NC 4-H! Help turn North Carolina green.
