The Official Ohio 4-H Enrollment System

Enrollment Deadline: April 1, 2024

The first step to continue being a 4-H member, volunteer, or an event participant is updating your profile in the 4-H online data management system. Ohio 4-H uses the 4-H online system to manage all aspects of the 4-H program, including membership, events, projects, activities, and communications. All youth and adults who participate in Ohio 4-H must have a 4-H online profile.

We are here to help you navigate this web-based and mobile friendly data system. 4-H online profiles are family-based, which means every family has a “master” profile for each family member involved in Ohio 4-H. A family profile may contain both youth and adults. Once a family profile is established, it will exist for as long as members of that family profile are involved in the 4-H program, and new family members may be added to the family profile at any time.

No paper enrollment forms will be accepted. Youth and their parents should complete online member enrollments, as they require electronic signatures providing legal consent for participation and serve as the official project enrollment record of the child. Volunteers are encouraged to provide assistance, but should not complete an enrollment for a child outside their own family.

 

Important: 4-H Family Update e-mails and communications from the office are sent to e-mail addresses entered in the 4-H Online enrollment system. Please use e-mail addresses that are checked regularly so you receive the most up to date information.
