Whether you are enrolling for the first time or re-enrolling in 4-H, you need to read this. There will be 2 ways of enrolling in 4-H the 2010-11 4-H year, which actually kicks off on September 1: 1. enroll on 4-H Connect (our on-line 4-H enrollment and registration system) or 2. complete paper enrollment forms (green for members, yellow for adult volunteers and peach for clover kids). After August 1, all profiles on 4-H Connect will go to “inactive” to enable 4-H families to begin the enrolling process for 10-11. To enroll/re-enroll, go on 4-H Connect and either update your family and individual profiles or create profiles if you are new to 4-H. Be sure you complete all necessary information, enroll in the appropriate club(s), and enroll in at least 1 project. Once you submit this and are approved, you will then be “active.”
Please remember that 4-H age is 9 or 8 and in the 3rd grade to 19 as of Aug. 31, 2010. Clover Kids are age 5-8, and are not 4-H members until they reach 4-H age (9 or 8 and in the 3rd grade).
Many of you adults may be asking, “My kids are enrolling in 4-H, why should I enroll as a 4-H volunteer leader?” Even if you’re not taking on major leadership roles, all parents and adults can help in some way. Also, it’s best to enroll if you are working with any children other than your own–you would only expect this of other volunteers working with your children. Youth Protection Standards (YPS) is our volunteer screening process, and each volunteer is screened every 3 years. Only those adults who have been screened and cleared through YPS will have the privilege of working with our young people in 4-H. If you have not been screened and cleared, you will need to either enroll on 4-H Connect or complete a yellow volunteer registration form and submit that to your Club Manager or CK Group Leader. By the way, Guadalupe County covers the $10/person fee for the screenings as an investment in its county 4-H volunteers.
