4-H Online 2.0 Registration is Open!The moment everyone has been waiting for is here! Families are able to register in the new system. For step-by-step instructions, please click here.
If you need help, please reach out to us and we can help answer questions! This system is new, so please be patient while enrolling for the 2020-2021 4-H year. Tina Engelhardt is working hard at approving enrollments and answering any 4-H online questions! Re-enrollment Deadline to be eligible for 2021 County Fair Premiums October 31, 2020.
FAQ:
What happened to the Youth Leader projects?
- In 2.0 all youth can select a volunteer-type when selecting a project, so a separate project selection for Youth Leader is no longer needed. Youth can still select Youth leadership as a project.
What happened to the Leader - Adult Advisor to Other Leaders, Leader - Board Member, Leader - Club Activity, etc projects?
- These were removed because adults use another area to designate their role(s). If they don’t choose a volunteer role as Project Leader, they do not select a project at all.
