4-H has an open enrollment policy.
Members and leaders can enroll at any time throughout the year.
However, open enrollment to participate in the Boulder County
Fair opens October 1st and ends May 1st annually. In the event
that May 1st falls on a weekend, the enrollment closes on the
last day of April.
There is a $25.00 fee for Boulder County 4-H for the 2007-2008
year. This fee includes literature for two projects, insurance,
newsletter support, intern support, and a $10.00 state fee.
Joining more than one club or taking more than two projects
will result in additional fees.
While the county fee is $25.00, there are costs associated
with each project. For example, members who take photography
must own a camera and will have costs for film and processing
or digital processing. Likewise, livestock members must purchase
and care for their own animals.
4-H is an equal opportunity, non-discriminatory
youth organization. Scholarships are available from the 4-H
Foundation for families with financial need, yet they do have
to prove U.S. citizenship. Please speak to the 4-H office
or your club leader about receiving a scholarship.
