Are your kids looking for a new adventure?  If your kids are grades 4th – 12th then 4-H may be just for them!  Youth get to pick a club of their choice, create projects that interest them, and overall get involved in an awesome organization, 4-H!  Club members explore a wide variety of life skills including healthy living, the environment, citizenship, plants and animals, science and technology, and expressive arts.  Members participate in hands-on activities in a non-competitive environment. 

If you are a new family to 4-H follow the ‘New 4-H Family Enrollment Help Sheet’ instructions to get enrolled in 4-H Online!  If you already have a family member in 4-H but this is the first year for them you will need to follow the “Returning 4-H Member Enrollment Help Sheet” process through 4-H Online.  

There is a $15 Enrollment Fee due for those new members in grades 4th – 12th.  Once you have completed all the information in 4-H Online, stop by the Clarke County Extension office to take care of your fee and let the adventure begin!
