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.
