Youth and a parent may stop by the Purdue Extension Office any time before 7:00 p.m. on these two dates to enroll, pay the 4-H enrollment fee ($20 for regular and $5 for mini) and pick up their 4-H materials. 2013 4-H members who have not re-enrolled should can also enroll at one of the 4-H Sign-Up Open Houses.

Youth may also be enrolled online and pay their fee by credit card. To enroll online go to https://www.four-h.purdue.edu/enroll/ and follow the directions. It is best if a parent does this so they can also fill out the online consent form. Online enrollment instructions can be found on the Washington County Extension website listed above.

Youth are encouraged to sign up for 4-H and pay their enrollment fee by March 1st. The enrollment fee will be an additional $5 per person for those enrolling after March 1.

Regular 4‑H is open to anyone currently enrolled in grades 3 thru 12. Anyone who is currently in Kindergarten, 1st or 2nd grade is eligible to join Mini 4‑H. Youth unable to attend club meetings can still join 4-H as an independent member by signing up and getting their materials directly from the Extension Office.
