How to Join 4-H

Youth can join as easy as 1, 2, 3!

Step 1—Contact Us

Contact us at 301-724-3320 or email at jparrish@umd.edu at the University of Maryland Extension office to receive information on all Allegany County 4-H has to offer.  

Step 2—Attend a Club Meeting

Review the list of our clubs to determine which club(s) may be of interest to you. Once you decide on which club(s) you want to join, we will connect you with a club leader. You can then attend a club meeting to learn more about the club.

Step 3—Enroll

Once you have decided and discussed joining with the club leader, you can enroll yourself online.
