4-H Enrollment for 2026/2027 is now OPEN

Important Membership Information

The new 4-H year has begun and youth may again (re)enroll through the v2.4honline.com website.

What does this mean? ENROLL EARLY and don't miss the statewide deadline to be a Nebraska 4-H member! If you are planning to participate in Shooting Sports or Robotics or other 4-H Clubs that meet in the fall, please be sure that you are enrolling in a timely manner.

Please note, that there is an official deadline of June 15th for enrollment that will assist counties in having a consistent timeline for processing membership enrollments.

Attention Volunteers

Enrollment is now open for you. If you serve as a 4-H Council member, Club Leader, Shooting Sports Instructor or plan to lead a workshop, please take the time to re-enroll before you begin your volunteer duties.

If you successfully screened last year, you will not be asked to screen or take part in the orientation for another five years. However, you will still be checked monthly by Sterling Volunteers.

Thank you for your willingness to serve the betterment of our young 4-H'ers!
