This is a reminder that the new 4-H year has started ! With that being said youth and volunteers will need to renew your 4-H membership for the 2023-2024 4-H year.

Families will need to log in to their 4-H online account and will need to update their information as needed! This includes families that recently just enrolled into 4-H ! Youth will be unable to participate in 4-H programing including club meetings until they have been renewed !

Please provide feedback and ideas from this year's fair for the 2025 fair by filling out the 2024 County Fair Evaluation!

If you have additional ideas or concerns that you would like to discuss, please connect with Katie via phone: 218-384-8682 or email: silta006@umn.edu.

Each year, the University of Minnesota Extension grants clubs authorization to use the 4-H name and emblem through the completion of a charter application. The club charter application must be completed annually on or before October 31 to keep club status and benefits.

Minnesota 4-H is committed to creating inclusive learning environments for all youth. In this year’s Minnesota 4-H Annual Volunteer Training titled 4-H for All Abilities: Creating Inclusive Environments for Youth with Disabilities, we want to help all 4-H clubs, groups and volunteers be prepared to create inclusive learning environments with best practices. We all have a stake in this work and the ability to positively impact the experience of all 4-H’ers, including those with disabilities.

Through participating in this training, we hope that you will:

• Understand why working with audiences with disabilities matters.
• Identify best practices to support the unique needs of all youth.
• Discover tips and resources for working with audiences of all abilities.

Please join us November 14th at 7:00 at the Carlton County Extension Office as we hold a group watch party. Pizza will be available for volunteers and youth who attend !

Please fill out this Livestock Recommendation Survey so we can organize a schedule for to upcoming year. This survey includes recommendations for speaker/educational programing for youth, and judges recommendations.
