4hOnline will be closed from
June 30 at 12pm to August 16
4hOnline 1.0 Rollover and Migration to 4-H Online 2.0

This is a reminder that family login level access to the 4hOnline 1.0 system will be turned off on June 30th at 12pm. In the weeks preceding rollover, a notice will be added to the 4hOnline login page to alert all users when the system will be offline. We anticipate family login level access will be restored around August 16th.

The increased system downtime is due to UC ANR 4-H migrating to 4-H Online 2.0. This new enrollment database has undergone major updates to improve functionality and ease of use.
Delay Enrollment until August 16
Families and volunteers will not have access to either system from June 30 - August 16, 2021. Families are encouraged to delay re-enrollment for the 2021-2022 program year until the system is open and they can complete the online self-enrollment process when 4-H Online 2.0 opens enrollment after August 16, 2021.

If enrollment or re-enrollment is necessary during the interim period the system is offline, your county staff will work with you to complete the enrollment process.

Please note: any early enrollments into 4-H Online 2.0 before the official opening of the system into 4-H Online 2.0 will be deleted. All dates listed are subject to change based on our vendor and UC ANR 4-H needs. Any changes will be broadly communicated by the State 4-H Office.

STATE FASHION REVUE News

A total of 65 members registered for SFR 2021: REBOOTED, with 60 entries interviewed online by 20 evaluators over 3 days. Traditional and Consumer Science Purchased were the most popular categories. We hope you were all able to watch the slide show during the State Field Day awards ceremony! If not, it’s posted on the SFR website along with the results and printed program. Congratulations to all the participants for your outstanding outfits! We would like to recognize the 3 teens whose skills made this first-time virtual SFR possible – Gianna Lovell, Emily Lavell, and Sydney Yoshimura.

We are actively recruiting for the 2022 State Fashion Revue Committee. You don’t need to sew to help organize SFR! The committee needs members, teens, and adult volunteers from all over California. We meet via Zoom and in person throughout the year. Each person takes on a significant job as it takes many hands to be successful. Contact us at 4HCAStateFashionRevue@gmail.com.

Over the summer we will be selecting the Challenge categories, the theme, and the service projects for 2022. If you get involved now, you can help make these decisions! 
The State Fashion Revue team wants to honor Mary Engebreth on her retirement from 4-H as a volunteer of 50+ years.

She brought SFR to State Field Day in 2006 and has been a positive influence on many members and leaders involved in fashion revue, presentation day, leadership, and wildlife.

Thank you, Mary!
