Carroll 4-H

Enroll in Carroll County 4-H

So you want to join 4-H? Then you've come to the right place! Carroll County has two types of 4-H clubs: community clubs and specialty clubs. Community clubs are location-based, and specialty clubs focus on a specific project area, such as horses, livestock, horticulture, and dogs. There are a wide variety of projects that you can choose from, including (but not limited to) robotics, crafts, sewing, foods, livestock, dairy, performing arts, and ecology. You can hold any project in any club...and you can belong to more than one club. 4-H is what you make of it! You can be busy several days a week, or one day a month. With all of the great opportunities available as a member of the Carroll County 4-H Program, there is surely something that will suit you.

New Carroll County 4-H Members

Here are a few steps to help you become an official 4-H member:

Have you attended your first Carroll County 4-H Club Meeting? This is the monthly meeting you would attend. This is the first step in joining the 4-H Program and making the connections with the 4-H Club Leaders, who are a great resource in helping you join 4-H.
 
After you attend your first club meeting, the next step is to register through the Maryland 4-H Online Enrollment system. When registering through this site, you will need to create a family account. You will then be directed to set up each 4-H/Clover Member and any UME Volunteers under the family name. Make sure you write down your login information, as this is what you will use each year to enroll in the Carroll County 4-H Program.
 
After you set up your account and register each family member who will be a part of the 4-H program, you will be directed to pay an annual participation fee of $10 per 4-H member. You must pay this online to complete your enrollment.
 
Make sure you receive a confirmation email that you are now enrolled in the Carroll County 4-H Program. You can log in at any time to check your status, as it will show everyone as PENDING, and when they have been approved to join the 4-H Program, you will then see APPROVED.
 
Once you become an active member of the program, you will start receiving the 4-H Tribune (a newsletter published 10 times a year). You will receive this either through email or by mail, depending on what you selected when setting up your account.
 
Remember, you must be enrolled by May 1st of the current year to be eligible to participate in the Carroll County 4-H/FFA Fair.

Each family login information remains the same each year, so please make sure you use the email address you set up your account with to log in.
 
If you have forgotten your password, the login page has an option to reset it for you. As you enroll for the current year, make sure you enroll every 4-H Member, Clover, and UME Volunteer in your family.
 

If the 4-H Member is in more than one club, make sure to check off which club is their primary club. This is how the insurance fees will be billed to each 4-H Club.
 
Project Areas: You only have one chance to add/delete projects from your 4-H Members' enrollment. Double-check that you have selected everything that they may be involved in during the year.

When you are ready to check out of 4-H Online, you will need to pay the $10 4-H Enrollment Fee online.  You will automatically be taken to the next screen to make payment.
 
You will receive a confirmation email once the Carroll County Extension Office accepts your enrollment. You are able to log in to your account; the status of each member/volunteer will change from PENDING to APPROVED.
