2018-2019 4-H Enrollment Reminders!

As our 4-H Year is winding up and our Clubs are planning their 4-H year and becoming more active, we have a few enrollment reminders for both youth and adults.  

These reminders are VERY important for youth, if a youth does not have an active profile in 4-H CONNECT, we can't approve entries or send letters of excuse to schools if your enrollment is not current. 

What is the 4-H Year?

• The 4-H year is considered to be September 1 through August 31 of each year.

WHO needs to enroll?

• Any Youth in grades 3-12 wanting to participate in 4-H Activities (Club meetings, projects, contests, shows, etc.) youth in grades K-2 may also enroll as Clover Kids
• Any Adult who would like to register for District and State 4-H events such as Roundups, Congress, etc.
• Any Adult who wants to participate as a Volunteer (Club Manager, Project Leader, Chaperone, advisor, etc.) isrequired to enroll annually

WHEN should you enroll?

• As soon as possible!  If your club is chartered, you can enroll in your club as early as August 15th
• If you are submitting Livestock Show and Contest entries, we will not sign and submit them until you have an active profile.  

How much does it cost?

• 4-H Member Enrollment from August 15 to October 31 is $20
• 4-H Member Enrollment is $25 beginning on November 1
• Adult Volunteer Fee is $10 (covers insurance policy for volunteers)
• Adult Criminal History check is $5 (volunteers are screened every 2-3 years)

How long does it take profiles to be approved?

• Adult Volunteer screenings and approval can take up to 2 weeks after their initiation
• Youth enrollment and approval takes under 1 week if you do not need to transfer Counties
• If you reside in another County, but want to participate in our County, you must complete a County Transfer Form and a profile in 4-H Connect

WHERE do you sign up? 

• In Texas 4-H CONNECT: https://tx.4honline.com
