A SPIN (Special Interest 4-H) Club is a club where a volunteer leader starts a 4-H club with at least five 4-H members and another volunteer. The club meets for at least one hour, six sessions, around the volunteers’ schedule, to learn about a specific topic of interest. SPIN clubs are for those volunteers that need more flexibility in time. Meeting location is typically at the 4-H office or other chosen location.
