Many people in 4-H are ready and willing to help you as a new family in the program. We are here to help: Local 4-H Club You can contact your club leader or another family in your club. County 4-H Office You can contact the Outagamie County UW-Extension Office. Ask for the county 4-H Youth Development staff, who are responsible for administering the county 4-H program. County 4-H Leaders Association Outagamie County also has an organization of volunteers which supports the 4-H program.

There are many ways for your family to be involved in 4-H, be active in your club, participate in club meetings, events and activities. There are many county events and activities as well that your family will enjoy. Watch for information in your county 4-H Connections Newsletter. Just a few of the many ways to get involved include: speaking, demonstrations, camps, trips and tours, 4-H project workshops and county fair.

Youth may need adult encouragement to stay involved in 4-H. Many adults become 4-H leaders when their children join 4-H. All leaders appreciate any assistance parents can give. If you decide that you do want to become a leader, you will need to be approved through the Youth Protection process. Ask the 4-H Youth Development agent or contact your UW-Extension Office for more information.

Adults can help by: Sharing Take an interest in a child’s 4-H projects and activities. Listen, look and offer suggestions, but don’t “take over.” Learning by doing is the 4-H way. A child learns by making mistakes and successes. Preparing Help a child understand the value of projects and presentations done well and on time. Help a child understand the importance of follow through. Being There A child will gain more from 4-H by regular attendance at club meetings and involvement in 4-H activities. Attend meetings with them. Get to know the 4-H club leader. Lend a hand whenever you can.

Welcome New Families:

Understanding 4-H ProjectsWhat is a 4-H Project? A 4-H project is made up of three types of activities: Hands-on activities: making, producing, practicing, observing, testing, interviewing, caring for, etc. Organized activities: demonstrations, workshops, camps, county judging, project activities, exhibits, etc. Leadership/Citizenship activities: conducting, planning, teaching, assisting, informing, organizing, etc.

Are 4-H Members required to sign up for a project? Yes, all members must sign up for at least one project.

How does a member select a project? When choosing a project, consider your interests, background, what is necessary to start your project, and what is available to help you complete it. Review this guide as a family, club, or group. A good rule of thumb is to select no more than two projects as a first-year member. County fairs and the state fair often have age requirements different than those for project enrollment. When participating in a fair event, be sure to review the related guidelines.

Stay Connected!Check out the 4-H Minute! In addition to our bi-monthly 4-H Connections Newsletter, we are communicating with you through the 4-H Minute! This weekly video will highlight what’s happening in Outagamie County 4-H. You can find the 4-H Minute on Facebook and YouTube.

4-H Enrollment Guidelines

4-H at County Fair The Outagamie County Fair is held each year in July. It is a time when 4-H members have an opportunity to show the results of their learning and efforts. It is also a chance to meet other members from across the county and share experiences and ideas with them.

Participation at the Fair is not required by the county, but members are missing an excellent opportunity for additional fun, enrichment, and learning. All 4-H’ers are encouraged to participate in Fair, if possible.

To participate in the Fair, the child must be enrolled in 4-H by December 31 for new members, or November 15 for reenrolling members with the Outagamie County UW-Extension. Many projects have educational requirements or opportunities that occur early in the calendar year.

Fair entry forms are due in May. For more information concerning the Fair, consult the Fair Premium Book.

Literature/Curriculum Several projects have helpful, informative literature we encourage you to either pick up from the UW-Extension office or purchase from National 4-H Supply service at https://shop4-h.org/.

Please note that the UW-Extension office has a limited amount of literature available in some project areas. Therefore, contact the UW-Extension office for the most up to date inventory available.

Volunteer Leaders If there are several projects within a project and you’re a leader for only one, then choose that one.

For example, if you’re a Shooting Sports leader for just Archery, choose Archery. You’ll need to make more than one entry if you’re a leader for more than one project. For example, if you’re a Shooting Sports leader for Archery and Rifle choose both.

NEW THIS YEAR! The 4-H Enrollment Guide will look a little different this year as changes were made, and some projects were combined. It may look like some projects were eliminated, but this is far from the truth. We have not eliminated any, but increased opportunities for 4-H members to explore and grow in more projects. Members enroll in the bold title in the top bar which includes all of the projects under it and do not need to enroll for the specialty projects. The projects listed under the bolded titles are a suggested list and does not cover all possible projects.
