Choose a 4-H club that is best for you and your family.
We encourage you to learn about a couple different clubs, even going to observe a meeting, before selecting one. Things to consider when choosing the club that’s best for you include the projects the club is most involved with, when and where the club holds meetings, and the size of the club. You may also choose to belong to a club that some of your friends or family belong to. The choice is entirely up to you! If you would like more information about a club or if you need further assistance, please contact the Extension Green County Office at 608-328-9440.
Contact the Organizational Leader(s) of the club you wish to join.
Speaking with the leader will help you learn more about the club, its members, enrollment process, enrollment dues, and deciding which projects you would like to participate in. Annual enrollment dues are paid to the club by the club’s deadline. County enrollment dues for returning 4-H families are $15 per member, and additional club and project fees may apply. Financial assistance is also available. County enrollment dues are waived for first year 4-H families! While youth can enroll any time during the year, returning 4-H families must be enrolled by November 1st to be eligible to exhibit at the Green County Fair and new 4-H families must be enrolled by January 15th to be eligible to exhibit at the Green County Fair.
Parents are encouraged to sign up to be a project leader or activity leader.
Many parents all chipping in to support the growth and development of our youth is what makes 4-H possible! In order to be eligible to be a leader, adults need to have enrolled online at https://v2.4honline.com/ and have completed the 4-H Volunteer training, available on the Wisconsin 4-H website.
Start attending regular meetings.
Attend club meetings, get involved in your 4-H club, explore projects, and other 4-H events! There are plenty of opportunities within the 4-H program for your family. 4-H is a family-focused program, where parent attendance is highly encouraged!

Enrollment Tips
Please reference the 4-H Online Family Enrollment Guide for enrollment instructions.
See below for a few additional tips and reminders to help ensure your 4HOnline enrollment is completed correctly:
- Contact Information: Review your family and individual profile and make sure that all contact information is accurate.
- Code of Conduct: Read through the 4-H Code of Conduct with your child(ren). Remember that you are signing that you have read, understand, and agree to uphold this code.
- Second household: You can add a second household to your 4-H Online profile. This will allow everyone involved to stay informed and in the loop, including parents in separate households or other very engaged family members who will be supporting youth in 4-H.
Project Selection
All members, new and returning, are encouraged to finalize their project selections by January 5, 2026. However, please note that some projects will begin project communication prior to January (i.e. Beef weigh-in happens in December).
What Projects are Offered
There are over 70 projects available to youth! The 4-H Projects Pages will provide more information on what each project consists of, important dates to remember, and key contacts for that project.
For an overview of project listings and detailed project descriptions, please reference the 2025-2026 Green County 4-H Enrollment, Project, & Policy Guide.pdf.
Membership Dues
In 2025-26, dues for members, including Cloverbuds, are $15.00 per member. This covers accident insurance and county dues. Even though members are enrolled online, individual payment for 4-H enrollment is still paid to the individual 4-H Club. Some clubs pay dues for members based on fundraisers.
First year families are exempt from paying county dues.
