Washington State 4-H Enrollment Fee & Scholarships

Beginning October 1, 2017, Washington State 4-H has implemented a $25 per youth member per year State Enrollment Fee. This fee will be used to support 4-H programming at the state and local level. 4-H Leader Council will pay enrollment fees for enrollees if a scholarship is requested and approved, providing funds are available. Please see the Pend Oreille County (POC) 4-H enrollment fee procedures here: Enrollment Fee Procedures

Let’s “Put the Child First”

As WSU Volunteers, all 4-H Leaders are mandated to report any suspicions of child (or adult) abuse. How do you know what to look for? And, what do you do if you suspect abuse? These are answers you need to know! The “Put the Child First” training is required for all WSU Adult Volunteers and can be found on the State 4-H website at: http://extension.wsu.edu/4h/for-volunteers/volunteer-training/  On this Volunteer Training page, scroll down and follow the directions in the “Put the Child First” paragraph. The video is only 20 minutes long so take it as soon as possible.  If you do not have reliable internet access, you are more than welcome to view the training at the Extension Office. Call to make an appointment and we will get it all set up for you. If you have questions call Dixie at 509-447-6453 or e-mail, d.chichester@wsu.edu

LENDING LIBRARY

We are pleased that so many of you are checking out 4-H project curriculum and other items from our Extension Office Lending Library. Since many of our items are now checked out to Leaders, before you visit the office please call the Extension Office, (509-447-2401) to make sure the item(s) you are wishing to check out is currently available. That way we can also have them all ready for you when you come to the office for pick up. To those of you who have checked out items, please return them as soon as possible so the next Club may have access to them.

 

We hope to have a complete list of items available through our Lending Library posted on our website soon. Please watch for updates.
