Enroll in 4-H
The 4-H program year runs from October 1 to September 30 every year. You may join 4-H at any time during the program year by enrolling in the program through 4-H Online. All members, Mini 4-H, and volunteers must re-enroll in 4-H Online each year, starting on October 1.
Questions?
4-H Enrollment Instructions
When you go to 4-H Online, you will be prompted to create an account for your family. You will then add individual profiles for each family member participating in 4-H.
During enrollment, you will be prompted to choose both clubs and projects, so you should decide prior to enrolling on a club you would like to join and what 4-H exhibit topics you would like to explore or livestock. If you’re not sure, contact us for help getting placed with a club or finding the right project(s) for you. Alternatively, instead of selecting a club, you can choose "Contact me about clubs" and go ahead and submit your enrollment(s) before deciding.
