New 4-H Year Began October 1
October 1 is the start of the new 4-H Year. With this comes a flurry of activities and questions. Here are a few of the events to be planning for in the next few weeks.
- Enrollment in the New 4-H Year opened on October 1. Remember, returning members must enroll by December 1 to be able to show at the Fair. Family Guides for Enrolling are available on the State 4-H Site.
- Volunteer Renewals start on October 1. The 4-H Online system has been updated for you to renew online. New leaders are always welcome and can begin by filling out enrollment in 4-H Online.
- Clubs can purchase Coupon Codes to give members to enter when they enroll. If you know your club will be paying the program fee, but do not have a coupon code, please click pay by check. Our office can enter Coupon Codes after you have enrolled. For more on Coupon Codes see the resource on the State 4-H Site.
- Returning members must enroll by December 1 through 4-H online https://v2.4honline.com/

New 4-H Members can join at anytime during the year. This is a state policy, we must abide by.
However, for New 4-H Members to be able to show in the 4-H Department at the County Fair, they must enroll by May 1.
Encouraging new members to join eariler in the year allows them to become more involved in club projects and county events. If they encounter challenges with 4-H online, please reach out to the Extension Office. We do not want the online program to discourage participation.
As we go through all of these annual 4-H events, please remember that new members are experiencing some of them for the first time. Try to allow time for questions or explain what everything means a couple of times so everybody can learn more about the 4-H Program.
