The Kwajalein 4-H Clubs are on the US Army Kwajalein Atoll, located in the South Pacific between Hawaii and Australia. The Atoll is 2 square miles and has about 2,000 people living there. The population is mostly military contractors with less than 5% active duty military. Only means of transportation is bicycles.

The Kwajalein 4-H clubs have been active for over a year with nearly all clubs organized by parent and community volunteers. They usually meet at night or on the weekends.

Current and past clubs have included: dog obedience, foods and nutrition, sewing, stained glass, creative arts, computer construction, web design, photography, drama and creative writing. All members also participate in a community citizenship club.

Parents and community members are actively recruited through mailings, word of mouth, and exhibits at various locations on the Atoll.
