Contact Janice Martin, 610-837-7294, to book your event.

4-H clubs may use the 4-H Center for FREE, but all arrangements to use the site must be booked through Janice Martin, 610-837-7294. Donations are always accepted, however, to offset the costs of upkeep at the Center.

Financial Support:
It costs money to maintain this important community center for youth
development in the upper part of the county. The 4-H Center Board raises
money through rentals, chicken barbecues and donations.

Any donor or 4-H club wishing to make a donation may contact a member of the 4-H Center Board, Janice Martin, or Penn State Extension, Northampton County (610-746-1970) for more information. Donations may be specified for the working fund, the improvement fund or the scholarship fund.

Scholarships:
The Center board offers several scholarships to 4-H members each year.

• Memorial Scholarship, founded to honor various former 4-H supporters.
  Any past or present Northampton County 4-H member pursuing post-secondary education of any form, may apply.
• James Kilgore Scholarship, established by the Kilgore family, provides funding to any Northampton County 4-H member entering college to major in dairy sciences.
• Mabel Kilgore Scholarship, established by the Kilgore family, provides funding to any Northampton County 4-H member who is pursing an education in nursing.

Applications for these scholarships can be obtained from the 4-H coordinator at Penn State Extension, Northampton County. Applications are due in the extension office on the first Monday of October. Scholarships are awarded at the County 4-H Achievement Banquet.
