Youth participation

Youth participation guidelines

Youth, including Cloverbuds attending any 4-H program must be enrolled in 4-H, except as noted below.

A short-term, low-risk marketing program where the parent or responsible adult are present and responsible for their child(ren). Examples include: open house at school, club recruitment night or acceptable activity with intent to recruit new members.
An organizational meeting where new youth and families gather to complete enrollment materials.
A community service or fundraising event sponsored by 4-H and offered to the public. A waiver form must be completed by all participants in certain recreational events (e.g. 5K), including currently enrolled 4-H members; obtain this from the Local Extension Educator.
