4-H Youth ~ Enroll online here
Who Can Join 4-H?
4-H is open to every youth, ages 5-19, without discrimination! There are four age groups* in which you can do a wide variety of projects and activities:
- Cloverbuds: ages 5-7
- Junior: ages 8-10
- Intermediate: ages 11-13
- Senior: ages 14 to less than 19
*4-H “age” is determined by the age of the youth by
October 1st of the current 4-H year.
When can I join 4-H?
The 4-H year begins October 1st of each year so Fall is a great time to join 4-H.
However, depending on the club, members can usually join at any time during the year. To be able to participate in the Jefferson County Fair as a 4-H member, youth must be enrolled in a club and projects by June 1st.
Some projects have earlier deadlines for participation; check with your club leader.
How much does it cost?
There is a $25/youth annual fee.
This is a once-per-year fee that allows youth to participate in as many 4-H projects as they choose (fees to participate in special-interest programs such as Know Your Government and Teen Rally vary with the program).
Financial assistance is available upon request – no youth will be denied access to 4-H programs.
Financial assistance is available by filling out this form.
