Changes in 4-H age requirements

Greetings all, 

I hope the summer is treating you well. This summer 4-H personnel got together to rework the Policy and Procedure Handbook for 4-H.  While it is very close to being finalized, it is not ready to publish yet.  One change that will affect our registration in the 2019-2020 year is the new age requirement for Cloverbuds and Junior members.

I am copying the information from the Handbook below, so you can see the changes.  This will affect youth in Association Clubs, especially at our county fair. Please let me know if you have any questions.

2.      Age Requirements

4-H is open to all youth between the ages 5 and 18, regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, political beliefs, and marital or family status as determined by the following eligibility age criteria.

4-H age is determined by the age of a member at 11:59 p.m. on December 31 of the current 4-H year (October 1 through September 30).

3.      3.3  Enrolled 4-H Member Age Requirements

Cloverbuds - 4-H age 5 to 7

Youth must be five years old on or before December 31 of the current 4-H year to enroll. Youth in this age range may only enroll in the non-competitive Cloverbuds project in which they explore 4-H through various small group learning experiences. See details in Section 24: Cloverbud Project Policies.

Juniors - 4-H age 8 to 10

Youth in this age range may enroll in the projects, events, and activities open to junior members.

Intermediates - 4-H age 11 to 13

Youth in this age range may enroll in the projects, events, and activities open to intermediate members.

Seniors - 4-H age 14 to 18

Youth in this age range may enroll in the projects, events, and activities open to senior members. Youth cannot have passed their nineteenth birthday on December 31 of the current 4-H year.
