There is no cost to join 4-H. To enroll your child, follow the directions below. If you have questions, contact our office.

Welcome to Orange County 4-H!

The first step to becoming an active 4-H member, volunteer, or participant during this year’s 4-H program is to enroll. If you are a 4-H member under 18, your parent or guardian can create your membership.*

North Carolina 4-H uses an online system, called 4-HOnline 2.0, to manage 4-H memberships, clubs, projects, activities, and communications. *All members who participate in North Carolina 4-H must have a 4-HOnline 2.0 profile. 4-HOnline 2.0 accounts are family-based, which means every family creates a “master” profile with its own login ID and password. A member or adult volunteer file is then created within the family profile for each individual involved in North Carolina 4-H.

If you were previously enrolled and/or if someone in your family was involved in North Carolina 4-H from 2018 to 2023, you probably have an existing family profile in 4-HOnline 2.0. Previous members should use their existing login and password to access their family profile in the new 4-H Online 2.0 platform. *Members who are re-enrolling should NOT create a new account. If you have lost your password, click “reset password” on the enrollment homepage. If you need further assistance, contact Orange County 4-H Agent Jonathon Smith at 919-245-2057 or jonathon_smith@ncsu.edu.

NEW Members (youth and volunteers) enrolling for the first time, should click the “Don’t have an account?” link and begin the registration process.

During both the re-enrollment and enrollment process, members will be asked a series of important questions. These questions establish the type of member profile the system will generate. Please review the types of 4-H members before you re-enroll or enroll for the first time.

Types of Members:

  • Youth Members are automatically entered as either a Cloverbud or a Member based on their date of birth.

  • Cloverbuds are youth ages 5 – 7 years of age (as of Jan. 1, 2024).

  • Members are youth ages 8 – 18 years of age (as of Jan. 1, 2024 and not have passed their 18th birthday on Jan. 1st of the year they are participating).

  • Volunteers are adults who have been / or will be / screened and certified as 4-H volunteers. *Note: Any adult or guardian that desires to work directly with members in any capacity, such as helping with club activities, should enroll as a Level 1 Volunteer.

*Participants can be youth or adults who do not wish to join a 4-H program at this time but may want to attend an event or activity that is open to non 4-H members (*Note: Non 4-H member opportunities are limited). Individuals who select this option will have the ability to complete the full enrollment process if they chose to from their profile page.

On the Clubs tab, select a Club you wish to join. If you are uncertain or just want to become a 4-H member without affiliating with a specific club at this time, select ‘Orange Members At Large’.

On the Projects tab, select one or more topics that are of interest to you. This just gives us a general idea of what programs you might like to participate in. This does not bind you to working within that project area throughout the year.
