Members that are 5-7 years old (as of 9/1 of the current 4-H year) are Cloverbuds and do not pay membership fees. Members that are 8-18 years old pay a $20 membership fee for the year.
Project Area? What does that mean?
You are not tied to the project area that you select in the online system, but a project area does need to be selected. Many of our members choose their fair projects, but there are many other project areas that our members can work on throughout the year! Feel free to select more than one if applicable.
Pay by check or card?
Through this online system, you have the choice to pay by card or by check. Paying by card is the best option. Your card will not be charged until your member has been approved in the online system. If pay by check has been selected, it cannot be changed once the enrollment is approved. If paying by check, the Levy County 4-H Office will reach out to you via email with instructions on where to send your check and who it should be made out to. Please let our office know if you have any questions.
