Enrollment

The 4-H Year runs September 1-August 31. Enrollment information will be emailed to all current members in early October.  New families should connect with a local club, and your club leader will have enrollment information for you.

If the annual program fee ($20 per member) is a financial hardship to your family, please contact 4-H staff in your county.

4-H Records

Completing your 4-H Records is the annual process of tracking what you accomplished throughout the year.  Your Records include lists of project learning, community service, leadership, and participation, and a story about what you learned, challenges you faced, and what you plan to do in the future.

At the end of the 4-H year (August 31), complete a Records Form and turn it in to your club leader.  Records are reviewed at the local level, and you will be given feedback. The reviewers are more interested in what you learned than what you did, so focus on the things that are most relevant and leave out things that are less important. 

Records Tracking Sheet - Fill this out every month to help keep track of what you do.
