Adult Volunteer Updates
We’re getting excited for the 2025-26 4-H year — and we’ve got a few updates to share with our volunteers before re-enrollment opens in September.
âś… Updated Volunteer Training Process:
This year, when you log in to re-enroll, you'll be able to complete your 2025-26 Volunteer Training right in your 4-H Online profile — no extra links or websites needed!
🔍 Background Checks:
Background checks are required every two years. If you're due, 4-H Online will prompt you to start the process when you re-enroll. After you submit your enrollment, keep an eye on your inbox for an email from HireRight to complete your background check. (Be sure to check your spam folder.)Â
đź“…Â Important Deadlines:
 According to our updated Wisconsin 4-H volunteer re-enrollment policy:
Enrollment is due by November 1.
Complete your training and background check (if needed) by December 1.
These steps are required for you to be an approved volunteer. If they're not completed on time, you will not be allowed to lead programming with 4-H youth until everything is up to date.
We truly appreciate your commitment to creating safe, positive spaces for our youth. Getting your re-enrollment done early helps make sure all our programs are supported by approved, ready-to-go volunteers like you!
