regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin or handicapping
conditions. All children ages 5-7 must enroll in the Cloverbud project,
which explores several 4-H topics and is noncompetitive. Children,
ages 8-18 as of January 1, 2007 enroll in 4-H projects of their
choice.
TYPES OF MEMBERSHIP
Traditional 4-H
Club - Youth and parents interested in joining an existing club
or forming a 4-H Club (usually within their neighborhood).
Family 4-H Club - Families may enroll as a club if community
clubs are not available. Parents must sign up as leaders and
complete volunteer requirements. Family club parents must submit all
applicable paper work (call office for information).
MEMBER ENROLLMENT
Each member pays an enrollment fee of $25.00 which covers project
literature for three projects, accident insurance (covers State/County/Club
4-H functions with an adult 4-H leader supervising) and State Enrollment
Fee. Each additional project is $5.00 per project.
LEADER ENROLLMENT
First Year/New
Leaders pay a $15.00 enrollment fee. Returning Leaders pay a $5.00
re-enrollment fee. Project leaders should be designated for each
project in which 4-H members enroll. Leaders sign up for only those
projects in which members are enrolled. Leaders may purchase
accident insurance (optional) for $1.00 ($2.00 for horse leaders).
Each leader must complete an enrollment form. All new family and
traditional club leaders must complete a 4-H Volunteer Leader
application (green form) and attend the mandatory New Leader
Orientation.

enrollment materials to the Extension Office (address above):
* Enrollment forms for all members & leaders
* Permission forms for each
member
* Member and leader enrollment fees - Enrollments will NOT
be processed or project literature ordered without

ENROLLMENT PERIOD
Returning 4-H members and leaders are encouraged to enroll in
4-H between October 1 and October 31, each year. New 4-H members
and leaders may enroll in existing 4-H clubs until March 1 of the
current 4-H year. Family Club and new club members may join through
May 1, 2007. To participate in county fair, members must be enrolled
by May 1 of the current 4-H year. Enrollments in animal projects
will not be taken after March 1 of the current 4-H year. 4-H'ers
may enroll in one county only.
PROJECT LITERATURE
A new process this year will enable members and leaders to get
project manuals sooner. With the exception of our county projects,
we are using E-Records now. The State is currently updating the
E-Records, so make sure you get the most current copy. When the
enrollments are in from each club, ideally before October 31, 2006,
the organizational leader or other designated leader will set up
an appointment with the 4-H Staff to pick up the manuals at the
4-H Office or the Multi-Purpose Building. If the office does not
have the manuals at that time, the manuals will be ordered and sent
to the organizational leader. A fee will be assessed for any additional
or replacement copies.
