The Tiger By the Tail 4H Club is a school based 4H club for students in grades 3-5 at Waverly Intermediate School. “In 4‑H programs, kids and teens complete hands-on projects in areas like health, science, agriculture and civic engagement in a positive environment where they receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles.” (4-h.org)

The club aims to impact students who may not have access to a 4H club outside the school setting; students who may lack transportation and/or financial means for participation. Through participation in this group, students will build a sense of connection to their school community, as well as take on leadership roles within the club and outreach into the larger community by participating in volunteer service projects.

4-H is a valuable experience for many in Appalachian Ohio. By providing a school based club to students who may not otherwise participate, Tiger By the Tail Club opens new doors to hands on education for youth in Pike County.
