What is 4-H Online?
It is a secured, web-based system (often called 4-H Online 2.0) used across the country to manage youth and volunteer records. Families create a "Family Profile" and then add individual profiles for each child.
Why is it Necessary?
- Insurance & Liability: This is the most important reason. When a child is "Active" in 4-H Online, they are covered by 4-H accidental insurance during meetings.
- Medical & Emergency Info: The system stores digital health forms and emergency contact info that are compliant with privacy laws. If an accident happens, the official record is right there.
- Competition Eligibility: If your youth want to enter their muffins or project books into a state competition, those registrations are handle directly through our 4-H online registration system. If youth are not in the system, we can not register them for district or state events.
- Communication: It ensures families receive official newsletters, scholarship information, and state-wide event invites.
