4-H & Youth Development

Clubs

4-H Club Membership: Youth may become 4-H members when they enter the third grade and may continue their membership through the completion of grade 12. A member may continue membership for a maximum of ten (10) years. Note: Members enrolled prior to the 1998 program year are eligible through the calendar in which they reach age 19 (per previous state membership policy).

An individual’s 4-H grade is determined by the school grade in which he or she is classified regardless of the time of year he or she enrolls in 4-H. A member does not advance in 4-H grade until he or she enrolls in 4-H for the subsequent school year. Each member should enroll in the division of a project that would best suit his/her interest and potential for personal growth and would enhance their family involvement.

Opportunities in the 4-H program are available to all Indiana youth as defined regardless of race, religion, color, sex, national origin or disability. Married young men and women of 4-H age may participate in any of the 4-H projects and activities. However, married persons must participate by the same terms and conditions and/or guidelines as unmarried participants. Membership in 4-H is gained by annually
enrolling through a Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service Office located in each of Indiana's 92 counties. The 4-H club year usually extends from one annual 4-H exhibit to the next. Enrollment is an annual process attained by completing the appropriate county 4-H enrollment form. Each county establishes its own enrollment deadline. The Adams County Enrollment Deadline is April 1.
