4-H Kick Off Recruitment Challenge
This is your opportunity to share 4-H and its awesomeness with your friends!
- For every potential 4-H member you bring to the event you will get your name put in a drawing for a grand prize.
- If your non-4-H friend enrolls that day you both will receive 10 additional tickets to use at the prize table.
4-H Enrollment is Now Open - Sign up Early!
Early enrollment is due March 15. Those who enroll by this date will receive an extra pop or comparable item at the 4-H Food Stand during County Fair. Payment must be received by the office for enrollment to be complete.
Enrollment fee is $5 per member.
Visit york.unl.edu for enrollment instructions.
Volunteer Re-Screening
As many of you know, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension 4-H Volunteer application process includes a volunteer screening. All volunteers and staff who work directly with youth are required to complete the Youth Volunteer Protection Screening Form. Be assured the volunteer screening process is confidential.
Volunteer applicants are screened in order to:
- assure a safe, positive and nurturing environment for all youth involved with the Nebraska 4-H Youth Development program.
- provide protection for the child, the volunteer, the educator, the 4-H Council, the Extension Board, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension.
Screening Rotation
Initial screening of volunteers and staff will occur when they sign up to volunteer or are employed as an Extension professional. Screening for all volunteers will be done every four years by district, regardless of when the original screening was completed.
York County Volunteers are up for re-screening this year, so every volunteer must fill out the Youth Volunteer Protection Screening Form!
In order to be approved as a 4-H Volunteer, you must be re-screened!
Please let us know if you have any questions!
