Enrollment Fee
Youth pay enrollment fee once per year. This enrollment fee doesn't include club fees, camp fees, workshop fees, etc. This may be paid thru the 4-H online system via credit card or by check or cash in our office.
- 4-H Age: 8 Years - 18 Years Old (Age as of January 1 during current enrollment year) = $10 / member
- "Clover Kids" 5 Years - 7 Years Old (Age as of January 1 during current enrollment year) = $5 / member
Deadline for all Enrollments is June 15th each year but the sooner the better!!
The 4-H year is Oct. 1–Sept. 30, all 4-H members and volunteers must re-enroll each 4-H year. New members and fair projects may be updated through June 15.
The process is easy and only takes a few minutes per member or volunteer. Only parents/guardians may enroll 4-H members. Each 4-H household will need to initially set up a profile in which the 4-H youth and/or volunteers in the household will be added.
NOTE: Health information is optional, however the allergy section is required. You DO NOT need to complete the health information of the online form unless your child is planning to attend an overnight camp or campus event.
PROJECTS: Project selection is optional, however, it is encouraged for youth to select projects they are interested in exploring. Youth are only eligible to exhibit in a project area or contest in a single county.
NOTE: Horse and Shooting Sports projects must be selected at time of enrollment as there are specific consent forms that must be signed in order for youth to participate in these project areas. All 4-H youth and volunteers participating in horse and shooting sports projects MUST be enrolled in 4-H Online before participating in these 4-H activities.
Find the complete list of projects here. Please call us if you have any questions!
CLUB SELECTION:
- You may select as many clubs as you wish to be involved in, but must select as least one.
- INDEPENDENT MEMBERS: 4-H members enrolling as independent need to select “Independent Family Club” under “club.”
- FFA MEMBERS: FFA members need to select "FFA" under "club."
**PLEASE NOTE: 4-H Enrollment is NOT the same thing as the Saunders County Fair Pre-entry. That is a separate process that is open in May and due by July 1st.
