Enrollment Information

The 4-H enrollment year begins in October. Members must re-enroll every year, either through a 4-H club or as an independent member. Youth must be 8 to 19 years old in the current calendar year to join. Wyoming County also offers a program called Cloverbuds for youth ages 5 to 8 years old (before January 1st).

Please call Sharon in the 4-H office at (585) 786-2251 before or in September if you are interesed in enrolling in the 4-H program for the first time. She will help you find the club in your area that is perfect for you or will give you the information that you need to be an independent member. There is a nominal enrollment fee of $10 for Wyoming County residents and a $15 enrollment fee for out-of-county residents, in addition some local clubs have dues. 4-H is open to everyone regardless of race, religion, color, sex or place of residence.

Club Leaders: Please pick up your Enrollment Packets in mid-September! If clubs are not enrolled, members will not receive the 4-H News and will not be covered by our insurance.

Secretary's Reports:

Your secretary's monthly report is due in the 4-H office on or before the third Wednesday of the following month (for example, October's report is due by the third Wednesday in November). These reports should be sent in every month. If there were no meetings, the secretary writes "no meeting" on the report and sends it in. If you have a young club secretary, we hope that you will assist them with the reports. Also, remind your secretary of the secretary's book contest. Each September, club secretaries submit their book to be judged. Books are evaluated on neatness, completeness, and timeliness of reports being submitted.

4-H Award Trips

The Wyoming County 4-H Leaders' Association is pleased to sponsor the 4-H award trips. Please remember to participate in the 4-H Cookie Sale as proceeds from our annual 4-H Cookie Sale help to fund these trips and other awards. 4-H award trips provide a wonderful opportunity to visit interesting places, do exciting things, meet fascinating people, spread the word about Wyoming County 4-H and make great memories!!!

Use your 4-H Achievement Book or record sheets to help you fill out the application. 4-H members ages 13-19 before January 1 of the current 4-H year are eligible for these GREAT TRIPS!! Please note minimum age requirement for certain trips. Applications will only be accepted if submitted in the 4-Her’s own handwriting!!

Completed applications should be sent or brought to the 4-H office. The due date for the application can be found in your October issue of the 4-H Newsletter, but the deadline normally falls around the end of November. Note: Award trips are subject to change without notice. In the event of a cancelled trip, efforts will be made to provide another trip opportunity for participants.

Cloverbud Program

Are you looking for new project ideas to do with your 1st and 2nd graders?

Call or stop by the 4-H office to view all the wonderful project ideas suited for your Cloverbuds. If you have Cloverbuds interested in doing a public presentation, don’t forget to sign them up on the registration form and mail it to the 4-H office in early February. (See December/January 4-H Newsletter for more information)

If you would like to check our some Cloverbud resources on-line, here are some web sites you might explore:

While you are welcome to incorporate your ideas and use your own creativity as well as use material that has not been previously tested for use with Cloverbuds, you are advised, particularly at the beginning of your work with any age group, to rely heavily on those pre-tested 4-H materials developed for specific youth for the bulk of your club program. Such pre-tested materials take developmental needs of each group into consideration.

4-H Completion

Please understand that we are not trying to make your job harder by adding more paperwork. It is impossible for the 4-H office to operate efficiently when we continually have to call to remind leaders of deadlines or to gather information. Our funding depends, in part, on our ability to represent the program in terms of youth served through 4-H, and we cannot do that without your help and cooperation. Please be aware of and adhere to these deadlines!

Completion Forms:

The 4-H year ends on September 30th. Your club’s completion forms should be submitted as soon as possible (deadline 10/15). In order for your members to be recognized at our 4-H Recognition Night or receive their year pins, these must be turned in by October 15th. Along with your completion form, you must submit the Club Financial Record. This was provided in your packet last year, and another copy will be in this year’s packet. (It can also be download here). Please remember that every club MUST submit this form every year. If your club does not handle any money, please indicate that on the form and return it.
