A question that's asked frequently, "If we were in 4-H last year, do we have to re-enroll this year?" The answer is YES - everyone has to re-enroll.
NEW: This year, you will re-enter all of the projects in 4-H Online. Past years' projects were cleared from the youth’s profile in an attempt to present accurate data to our stakeholders when reporting. Be sure to select all projects you want to take this calendar year. Thanks!
