It is that time of year again… Time to enroll or re-enroll as a 4-H member for 2023 - 2024!
North Carolina 4-H utilizes an enrollment system for all new and existing 4-H members and volunteers. The online enrollment system is called 4-HOnline. If you created a new family profile in the 4-HOnline system during the 2022 program year – or – if you re-enrolled from a previous year –it is time to update that record for 2023 – 2024.
Please note, effective January 1, 2023, only 4-H youth members and 4-H volunteers enrolled in 4HOnline will be considered active members and/or certified 4-H volunteers. Active status will be required for individuals to participate in any and all 4-H activities, events, programs, and 4-H trips.
For families with an existing 4-HOnline account:
- Login to your family profile, review and update youth member/volunteer information as needed. The system will walk you through each of the required sections. Note: Some application sections must be completed annually, while others ask that you review areas for any needed changes.
- When you have updated all the information, click “Enroll for 2023-2024.” Your membership status will be updated and sent to your local 4-H office for approval.
- Youth profiles should take approximately 10 – 15 minutes to update and submit. Volunteer profiles will take 25 – 30 minutes, including the annual required training video.
- Click below to access the 4-HOnline system that also has a “tip sheet” for the re-enrollment process.
For families who do NOT have an existing 4HOnline account:
- Please take a few minutes to create a family profile in the 4-HOnline system.
- Once the family profile is set up, you will add individual youth and/or volunteer members to your family account.
- Click the 4-H Online link below to get started; there is also an easy-to-use “tip sheet” entitled – “Setting Up A NEW Family Profile in 4-HOnline,” which will walk you through the initial set up.
- Creating a new family profile should only take a few minutes.
- **Note: If you start the enrollment process for the 1sttime and the system gives you a notification that reads – “This email address is already in use,” – please stop and contact your 4-H agent. This indicates your record has been started in the system and will require a temporary password.
Important Information to Note:
- Families who do not have access to the Internet may use the paper enrollment forms.
- English and Spanish paper enrollment forms are available at the Avery Extension Office or online at: '23 Paper Enrollment Forms
- You should only create one (1) profile per family
- Write down your e-mail/password and keep them secure.
- If you have a youth member who participates in more than one county 4-H program, please register your family profile in the county you reside in; families can add a 2nd county to a profile by adding a club from that county during enrollment.
- North Carolina Cooperative Extension’s 4-H Youth Development Program and 4-HOnline work closely to monitor and ensure the highest level of protection for information stored on the system. NC 4-HOnline has been vetted by the UNC system and met all Information Safety Standards.
