We run independently of the schools that our students go to (think club sports team vs a high school sports team) so all of our students are either brought by their parents, carpool in, or drive themselves to wherever we happen to be meeting.

The one big problem we've run into is a lack of a home, we've built in 5 different spaces and store all of our stuff in a storage unit or garage during the off season. 4-H provides our team with meeting space during the off season but unfortunately they cannot give us a build or storage space.

We're working to solve this problem.

I hope this helped, feel free to post or message if you have any questions.
Same here. We're a 4H team but our single biggest problem at the moment outside of funding is a place to build. Last season we built inside the Parks and Rec maintenance building but during the spring/summer/fall they're using it so it's absolutely full with fertilizer and other stuff. All our equipment is in the metal caged-off portion for storage, which certainly works better than our previous arrangement, but we can't really do any off-season build projects without anywhere to work.
