Enrollment for new members opens in September! Returning members can renew their enrollment through 4-H Online.

• Regular 4-H members, ages 8 to 18, can choose from a wide variety of projects and participate in the competitive aspects of our local and state 4-H program.

Enrollment in Logan County is free. Special projects or events may occasionally require out-of-pocket expenses; however, we encourage you to talk with a leader if finances are a barrier for enrollment.

Volunteers help make 4-H possible! Previous experience working with youth is not required. We have many resources for volunteers, including Leader Guides for various projects, access to materials for checkout, & funds for supplies.

The most important qualifications are:

• A desire to work with young people to help them learn new things & gain life skills.
• A passion to provide youth with positive experiences in a safe & welcoming environment.
