If you are a returning family, please be sure to use your existing profile and do not create a new family. Project guides will be mailed to the home address on file at the Extension office for returning families or you can check out projects at Project Central. It appears 4-H Online version 2.0 will currently not allow families to add projects after submission so you’ll want to add your projects prior to hitting submit. If you decide later, before enrollment closes, that you want to add or drop a project, you’ll need to reach out to the Extension Office to make those changes.
New families should contact the head advisor of the 4-H Club they plan to enroll in prior to completing the online enrollment. Verify that the advisor has your contact information, and you have meeting dates, times, and locations. Once you have contacted the advisor and chosen projects, you will visit https://oh.4honline.com to set up your new family profile and complete enrollment.
All members and volunteers need to re-enroll each year to remain active in Adams County 4-H. If you have questions or need assistance with the enrollment process, feel free to call the office at 937-544-2339.
