4-H Enrollment Procedures

Enrolling in 4-H in 2024....

NEW Starting in 2024, project selection will be optional with the exception of the horse and shooting sports (see note below). By successfully completing the 4-H member enrollment by June 15, youth will be eligible to participate and exhibit in any project area, any contest, their county fair, and the Nebraska State Fairs. While optional, youth are encouraged to select projects they are interested in exploring each program year. Please note:

  • Youth are only eligible to exhibit in a project area or contest in a single county.
  • Horse or shooting sports projects will continue to require project enrollment due to the parental consent required for participation.
