HOW TO JOIN MARQUETTE COUNTY 4-H

Who can join?

4-H is open to all youth in grades K-13.

4-H Members in 3rd grade through grade 13 (one year beyond high school) can enroll in projects and exhibit animals at 4-H events. There are more than 130 project areas that youth can be a part of, everything from scrapbooking to archery.

Youth in Kindergarten through 2nd grade can enroll in Cloverbuds. Cloverbuds participate in their own age-appropriate, non-competitive activities and cannot exhibit live animals. They can exhibit items about their animals.

4-H Adult Volunteers are an important part of the 4-H program. Adults (18 years old and up) can be volunteers. Those 18 years that are enrolled in 4-H as a member cannot be an adult leader, however there is opportunities for Junior Leadership. Chaperones for 4-H-sponsored trips must be 21.

What do I need to do to join?

Every 4-H Member and Cloverbud must complete a 4-H Member Enrollment Form annually.

Volunteer Adult Leaders must complete
4-H Leader Enrollment Form annually
Volunteer Behavior Expectations Agreement annually

When can I join 4-H?

The deadline for returning members to re-enroll is November 1. New members can join at any time, but the deadline for new 4-H members is March 1 in order to exhibit at the Marquette County Fair. Adult volunteers may join at any time, although returning volunteers should enroll by November 1 to ensure continued information. These deadlines are for forms to be in the UW-Extension Office in Montello. Individual clubs may have earlier deadlines.
