Swing into 4-H!

Boy on a swing with a mom and girl standing nearbyJoining 4-H couldn't be any easier! 4-H is open to all youth from Kindergarten through their first year of college. All you need to do is call our 4-H Office at 414-290-2437 and we will send you an enrollment form. Or you can download the Enrollment Form - Word or PDF.

Fill out the form completely and don't forget to add projects from the 2009 Wisconsin 4-H Project Guide (PDF icon 20 pages, 289 KB).

It is also important to select a 4-H Club! There are many 4-H Clubs throughout the Milwaukee area. If you don't want to join one that is already set-up, you can start your own! To find a club near you, choose from the list below!

Adult Volunteers

Beginning this fall, orientation workshops will be held for all newly enrolled 4-H adult volunteers. The Youth Protection Process consists of four steps:

  • Attend a volunteer training (2.5 hour commitment)
  • Sign a list of volunteer behavior guidelines
  • Authorize a confidential records check through the Department of Justice.
  • Fill out two forms: Adult Volunteer Application (1st) and Adult Enrollment Form (2nd) Note: the Adult Volunteer Application gives us permission to conduct the confidential records check.

These four steps complete the 4-H volunteer certification process. Four-H has prided itself in being a proactive youth-serving organization with an excellent reputation of providing a healthy and safe environment for its members. This is one more step to assure the quality of the program. Demetrius Brown conducts youth protection trainings on a bi-monthly basis or as needed. Please contact Demetrius Brown, Youth Development Educator at (414)290-2435 or email him at demetrius.brown@ces.uwex.edu for more information.
