Everything you’ll need to know:

BEFORE ENROLLING:  Contact the 4-H Club Leader listed above to ask about club requirements and to get on their mailing list.  

  • Update your contact information, including mailing address, e-mail and phone numbers!  This includes both the Member and Family profiles in 4HOnline.
  • Re-enroll and pay membership dues by November 1 so your 4-H Club Leader will have you on their club list for meetings and events. This deadline is especially important for members involved in animal projects/QMAS, so you don’t miss out on any mandatory meeting information!
    • After November 1st, if you are not re-enrolled, you will be removed from the Door County 4-H email lists and will not receive further information.
  • All new 4-H members must be enrolled, approved by the 4-H office, and paid membership dues by May 15 to be able to enter items into the 2027 Door County Fair.
  1. Select a club that works for you and your family (day, time, location, as well as projects, age of members, activities throughout the year).  Contact the club leader to let them know you are interested in joining their club.  Make a plan to visit a club meeting or activity to see if it’s a good fit.
  2. Review the Enrollment Guide 2026-2027 to learn more about the projects available in 4-H.  Youth who are in 5K through 2nd grade are eligible to participate in the Cloverbud project only.  Youth in 3rd grade and up can sign up for the rest of the projects.  For your first year in 4-H, you may want to take one or two projects.  (More can be selected if the youth and parents are comfortable with that decision.) Some projects have local club leaders providing leadership, and some projects have countywide leaders.  There are a few projects that don’t have leaders for them, and in that case the family and the member are responsible for learning independently.  See the new and updated 4-H Project Guide here: https://4h.extension.wisc.edu/opportunities/projects/
  3. Contact the Extension Office or your club leader to learn how to sign up using the online 4-H enrollment program —   https://wi.4honline.com   4-H Online Enrollment Guide   —  If you are not able to sign up online, paper enrollment forms are available by contacting the Extension Door County Office.
  4. County Membership Dues: $3.50 per member (including Cloverbud Members) or $10 per family (with 3 or more members).  Some clubs may add on additional fees for projects or activities.  Pay County Membership dues directly to your club leader; your club leader will send one check to the Extension Office.
  5. Even though 4HOnline will ask you if you want literature in a particular project, you will need to order your own literature.  Some resource literature can be found:  https://4h.extension.wisc.edu/projects/ and https://shop4-h.org/.
  6. Watch for the Door County 4-H newsletter (emailed to families and posted to this site) for more information on countywide events, project meetings, workshops and other activities happening in the 4-H program.  You can also “like” Door County 4-H on Facebook for updates.
  7. Have fun and enjoy being a 4-H member!
