4-H Online is the official enrollment database of Ohio 4-H. All 4-H member and volunteer enrollments must be entered into the 4-H Online enrollment system. Enrollments can be entered beginning February 15.
No paper enrollment forms are required or accepted.
Who should register and enroll a child into Ohio 4-H programming?
Volunteers are encouraged to provide assistance, but should not complete an enrollment for a child outside their own family.
Only a parent or legal guardian should register and enroll a child into Ohio 4-H programming. Whoever a parent or legal guardian identifies as the “second family” in the 4-H online system will have access to the participating child’s enrollment information, so please be thoughtful on who you identify in that role. This information cannot be changed without the assistance of a county 4-H professional after the enrollment is submitted. If a parent or legal guardian originally listed in 4-H online as a primary or secondary family can no longer legally have contact with the participating child, please contact the 4-H leader and county 4-H professional as soon as possible to provide updated information.
Enrollments must be entered by the April 1 enrollment deadline and include club and project enrollment in order to participate in judging and exhibit at the county fair.
Families are strongly encouraged to submit enrollments well before the deadline in case there are issues in completing the process.
