Annual 4-H Enrollment
4-H Enrollment starts August 15th for the 2016/2017 year on 4-H
Connect. The enrollment fee will be $20.00 for each 4-H youth from
August 15, 2016 through November 1, 2016. Starting November 2,
2016 the enrollment fee will be $25.00 for each 4-H youth. If you
are already in the system, you do not need to start a new profile,
just go to your existing family profile and re-enroll. If you have an
incoming 3rd grader, please wait until September 1 to enroll. If you
enroll a 3rd grader before that date, the computer will code the
membership incorrectly. If you need help re-enrolling please call
the office at 669-8033. If you are new to the system you will need
to create a family profile and add all youth and adults that will par-
ticipate in 4-H and 4-H connect. When enrolling, you will have an
option on payment. By paying with a credit or debit card, the youth
will be in system immediately (recommended). If you do not have a
credit or debit card and need to pay with cash call the office for
assistance. If you have any questions call Joan or Sara at 669-8033.
