4-H Enrollment Instructions

When you go to 4HOnline, 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 are not sure, contact us for helping getting placed with a club or finding the right project(s) for you. Alternatively, instead of selecting a club right away, you can choose "Contact Me About Clubs" and go ahead to submit your enrollment(s) before deciding.
