4-H POLICIES AND GUIDELINES
What
is 4-H membership?
A child becomes a 4-H member by joining a community 4-H club
or an after school 4-H club. New members are welcome to visit
4-H club meetings and join 4-H at any time during the year. Membership
is open to all youth regardless of their ethnic background, race,
gender, handicap status, religious or political beliefs.
When
can youth join 4-H?
Youth in first or second grade as of October 1st may join Rock
County 4-H as Cloverbuds. Youth in third grade and up as of October
1st may join as regular members. Youth continue to be eligible
for 4-H membership through the next 4-H year following their graduation
from high school.
In how many 4-H projects may a 4-H member enroll?
First year 4-H members in grades 3 through 5 may enroll in up
to two 4-H projects. The maximum number of projects for all other
members is seven ONLY if one of the projects is Youth Leadership.
Otherwise the maximum number of projects for all other members
is six. Every 4-H member must enroll in at least one project.
What are the achievement requirements?
In order to achieve, or meet the membership requirements for the
year, the 4-H member must complete the following: 1) exhibit publicly
(for example, at the Rock County Fair or at a club meeting) in
each project enrolled, and 2) submit a completed record book to
the club. 4-H clubs may not set additional requirements for achievement.
4-H members that do not achieve will be able to re-join for one
year on a probationary basis, meaning they may enroll in only
one project.
THESE POLICIES APPLY TO ALL ROCK COUNTY 4-H MEMBERS!
