Welcome to the New Hanover County 4-H Youth Development program! As a member or volunteer, you are required to enroll in 4-H online 2.0 each year so we can keep your information accurate and up-to-date. This way, you can easily get updates from our agent, as well as join clubs, camps, and events. Below is a step-by-step guide for both existing and new 4-H members to help you get started with your registration.

During both the enrollment and re-enrollment processes, members will be asked a series of questions to determine how their member profile is generated. Please see the following member types before enrolling or re-enrolling:

• Cloverbuds: Youth ages 5 - 7 years (as of Jan. 1)
• Youth Members: Youth ages 8 - 18 (as of Jan. 1)
• Member at Large: Youth who do not wish to join a 4-H club, but would like to register for a 4-H.
• Volunteers: Adults who have been screened and certified as 4-H Volunteers
  • Level 1 Volunteer: Volunteers who are approved by the county office to work directly with youth. Required to have background check and yearly training.
    • Examples: Club Volunteer, Program Volunteer, Project Volunteer
  • Level 2 Volunteer: Volunteer role that is not linked directly with youth and/or have limited/supervised youth interaction.
