Cloverbuds in the Kitchen

by

The Licking County 4-H Food and Fashion Board is happy to bring back their Cloverbuds in the Kitchen program. Cloverbuds in the Kitchen is designed for Cloverbud aged youth to learn some kitchen basics. Youth are not required to be enrolled as a Cloverbud to participate, but should meet Cloverbud age requirements (age 5 and in Kindergarten as of 1/1/23 up through project age). Cloverbuds in the Kitchen will take place on Saturday, July 22, 2023 from 10:30-11:30am at the Licking County Extension Office. Participants will learn about kitchen safety, how to appropriately measure ingredients, make a snack, and play games and complete a craft. We ask that an adult plan to remain with the youth for the entire program.

Complete the registration at http://go.osu.edu/CloverbudsInTheKitchen by Wednesday, July 19, 2023. Registration will be limited to the first 10 participants to register. If registration fills, please email Adrienne at anderson.1410@osu.edu to be put on a wait list.

2023 Mini Camp Registrations Now Available

by

Registration information for our 2023 Mini Camp is now available HERE. Mini Camp will be held May 12-13, 2023 at 4-H Camp Ohio. Mini camp is a great opportunity for our first or second year members to get a little taste of the overnight camping experience. Participants will spend one night at camp to get to know the counselors/staff, facility, and types of activities we do at summer camp in June. This can help those who are perhaps a little nervous about attending camp to become more comfortable with the experience and decide if an overnight camping experience is right for them. This camp is also open to our members who are currently in their last year as a Cloverbud. Registrations are due with payment by Friday, April 21, 2023.

2023 4-H Enrollment Information

by

4-H Enrollment is in full swing for 2023! Enrollments are due April 1, 2023. Please review the information below before starting your enrollment.

Your login credentials are the same as last year. If you have forgotten your password, please use the Reset Password option to reset your password. If you no longer have access to the email account you used last year, please email me so I can update your family profile.

Instructions on how to log in and enroll can be found on the How to Join 4-H page here: https://licking.osu.edu/program-areas/4-h-youth-development/how-join-4-h.  Scroll down to the instructions for RETURNING Families. There are step-by-step instructions that you can view and print, a tip sheet, and a video.

Once you have reviewed the instructions, visit oh.4honline.com to login and enroll. Please note that the site works best in Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Please ensure that you are at the 4-HOnline 2.0 site and have not traversed to the old site. Please note: If you search for 4-HOnline through a search engine, often the first option that populates is the old site. Please make sure that the login screen looks like this:

A few things to note:

  • There is an advertisement at the bottom of the 4-HOnline page for “Auction Frogs”. We have no control over this showing up in your profile. You should be able to click the X in the upper, right-hand corner of the green box to dismiss it.
  • There are several new and revised projects. One change that will likely be important for many of our members has to do with the rabbit projects. The three rabbit projects (225 Breeding Rabbit, 226 Market Rabbit, and 227 Pet Rabbit) have all been combined into one project book (new book coming soon). When looking to enroll in a rabbit project, you will want to look for project 228BR Breeding Rabbit, 228MA Market Rabbit, and/or 228PE Pet Rabbit.
  • If anyone in your family has been enrolled in 4-H anywhere in Ohio since 2014, you will have a family profile. If you have trouble accessing your family profile, please DO NOT create a new one. Contact Adrienne (anderson.1410@osu.edu) and she will help you get access to your existing profile.
  • If you have a family member who has “skipped” a year or two of 4-H, their profile may have been archived. Please contact Adrienne and let her know to reactivate the profile. Please DO NOT create a new profile. We want to utilize the existing profile for each member as all of their 4-H history is attached to the original profile.
  • Please take the time to review each member’s profile as you enroll them to ensure ALL the information is there and correct. Please update any contact information that may have changed since last year.
  • Please be sure that all projects are included and correct BEFORE you submit an enrollment. You will NOT be able to make changes to club/project enrollment once you click the Submit button. If you are not able to complete the enrollment in one sitting or are trying to decide on projects, the system will save each page of progress. You can leave that enrollment and come back to it later. Once you have submitted your enrollment, any changes regarding club and project enrollment will need to be made through Adrienne.
  • Once you submit an enrollment, it will be listed as “awaiting review” until it is reviewed at the county level. It will either be approved or will be sent back to you if there is something that needs fixed.
  • If you select a livestock, horse, dog, or shooting sports project the system will ask you to electronically sign the consent for those projects.
  • Cloverbud members should select the project My 4-H Cloverbud year for their enrollment.
  • Those joining the Licking County 4-H Band should select COP-Arts 1900 Performing Arts – 4-H Band for their project. It will be listed towards the end of the project list with the other County Only Projects (COP).
