The New 4-H Year Has Begun!

4-H Community - 4HOnline is now open for you to enroll/re-enroll for the 2023-2024 4-H year. Click on the image above for two tip sheets the State

4-H office put together on enrolling in 4HOnline. One is for families and the other is for volunteers. Click here to access 4HOnline.

If there are any parents or community members that are interested in becoming 4-H volunteers, we HIGHLY recommend they start the volunteer process now as Shaylen, our staff member who coordinates the new volunteer process, will be using up some excess leave time between now and 1/19/24 and she will be out of the office often in December and January. It does take her a bit of time to coordinate with CSU Extension to facilitate these new volunteer enrollments.

Arapahoe County Dates and Deadlines Document Updated

In order to keep our 4-H families and volunteers informed on 4-H dates and deadlines, the 4-H team has created a document containing an updated list of county-wide dates and deadlines for the 4-H year. This document will be continuously updated and a link will be included in the newsletters and on the Arapahoe County 4-H Member Resources webpage. Click on the image to the left to view the document.
