With the holiday season upon us, the Purdue Extension – Marshall County office would like to remind youth to sign up for 4-H! Our enrollment period is open until January 15th of 2015. The sooner you sign up, the sooner you can see what fun activities are in store for the coming year!
The enrollment process for 4-H looks different this year than it has in the past. This year, youth will enroll online at in.4Honline.com. Youth and their families will create a profile that will allow them to drop or add projects until June 1st. With more than 70 projects to choose from, youth can pick projects that relate to their interests! Many projects have project superintendents or leaders that can assist youth through the project if they have questions.
4-H is an organization designed for youth in grades 1-12. Youth are able to complete projects such as photography, swine, scrapbooking, and much more in order to learn life skills that will carry on throughout their lives. There is a state program fee of $15 per youth (with a maximum of $45 per family) in 4-H. Help is available for families that are interested in joining, but unable to meet the program fee requirement.
If you are interested in enrolling in 4-H, but would like more information, please contact the Marshall County Extension Office – 574-935-8545 or visit www.extension.purdue.edu/marshall.
