4-H ENROLLMENT - LAST CHANCE!
After you have attended a club meeting this year, you may enroll online. There is a very helpful video below. Before enrolling make sure the youth in your family know which projects they are planning on taking this year. You must enter your projects for 2022 before submitting enrollment.
Changes can be made to your project selections until the 4-H enrollment deadline on April 1, 2022. Email Rachel at stoneburner.31@osu.edu by April 1 if you need to make changes to your enrollment after you've submitted it.
NOTE: Simply enrolling online does not complete the requirements for club enrollment. You must attend 4-H meetings (make sure your club advisor knows who you are), complete your project(s), and participate as an active member of your club!
Also, note that all members will pay a $20 county activity fee. This is in addition to any fees that your club may possibly have. Turn your county activity fee into your club advisor or club treasurer.
