Club Members
Group Enrollment: In many delivery methods (such as school
enrichment), youth are engaged with 4-H curriculum in a school or after school
setting. There is no 4-H enrollment process for these types of settings. Youth
are "group enrolled" and overall numbers are reported but not specific
information on each participant. Youth group enrolled are not covered under 4-H
accident/sickness insurance.
Individual Enrollment: In 4-H Clubs and most overnight
camps, youth enroll using the enrollment form. In 4-H Clubs, members belong to a
specific club and select a few projects offered by that club each year. Members
attend monthly 4-H Club meetings and separate project meetings. Youth
individually enrolled are covered by 4-H accident/sickness insurance.
