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.

Re-enrollment deadline is December 1 for all returning Cloverbud & 4-H members. Please re-enroll in 4Honline and pay member fees to your club leader. Late enrollment with a $25 late fee begins December 2, 2023 and ends January, 31, 2024.

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 - This is the most updated version

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.
