4-H Online is . . . The OFFICIAL North Carolina 4-H Youth Development Program database for enrolled 4-H members, participants and volunteers. All members who actively participate in North Carolina 4-H must have a 4-H Online profile.
Read about enrolling below, and then access the 4-H Online website here.
The first step to becoming an active 4-H member, volunteer, or participant in 4-H is to enroll. If you are a 4-H member under 18, your parent or guardian should submit your information in 4-H Online.
4-HOnline accounts are family-based, which means every family creates a “master” profile with its own login ID and password. A member file is then created within the family profile for each individual involved in North Carolina 4-H.
North Carolina 4-H has created a variety of tip sheets, videos and step-by step instructions for enrollment:
- Family Enrollment Guide
- New Member Enrollment
- Volunteer Re-Enrollment
- New Volunteer Enrollment
- Member Password Support
- 4-H Club Leader Guide to Using 4-HOnline 2.0
If you were previously enrolled...
If you were previously enrolled and / or if someone in your family has been recently involved in 4-H in North Carolina, you probably have an existing login. Previous members should use their existing login and password to access their family profile in 4-H Online.
Again, members who are re-enrolling should NOT create a new account.
If you need assistance accessing your existing family profile, review the materials on this page. Then, you may contact your Caldwell County 4-H Agent, Sarah Kocher at sarah_kocher@ncsu.edu for assistance.
If you are a new member...
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 January 1 of the current year).
- Members are youth ages 8 - 18 years of age (as of January 1 of the current year).
- 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 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.
