Renew as a volunteer

Volunteers renew their commitment every three years

Each October, Minnesota 4-H staff will notify volunteers who are due to renew their volunteer commitment.

If you need to renew

  • You will receive an email or letter from Regional Support Staff this fall with instructions on how to renew. The renewal period will be Oct. 1st through Nov. 15th each year.

  • Follow the detailed steps in this VOLUNTEER RENEWAL GUIDE.

  • RENEWAL INCLUDES TWO STEPS:

  • Once both steps are completed, your status in 4HOnline will be changed to Approved.

  • If you have a question about your status, you may contact your local 4-H office.

If you do NOT need to renew

  • You will receive an email or letter from Regional Support Staff in September to let you know you do not need to renew this year.

  • The new 4-H year starts Oct. 1st. Regional Support Staff will update your status to "Approved" in late September.
