Instructions for online enrollment
Instructions for online re-enrollment
Families with an Existing 4HOnline Account
- Families with existing 4HOnline profile should not create a new 4HOnline profile for purposes of re-enrollment; please use your existing profile.
- Contact Mrs. Amy Rhodes at arhodes1@umd.edu if you need assistance accessing your family profile (login e-mail, password re-set, etc)
- Individuals who were senior 4-H youth members last year and wish to continue their 4-H participation as an adult for 2019 should create a new family profile for themselves. Do not change the status of your existing record from "youth" to "adult" Doing so erases all records of your 4-H youth experience and cannot be reversed.

Payment Process
- The annual enrollment fee for youth can be paid online through the State 4-H Program's payment portal.

- Online payment requires a credit/debit card, a prepaid debit card, or a Paypal account linked to a method of payment.
- Families may pay the fees for all youth family in one transaction; they do not have to pay individually per child.
Project Selection
- Projects will not roll over. Youth must select at least one 4-H project. There is no limit to the number of projects a 4-Her can carry, but they must be willing to complete project work in each of the selected projects. To select a project choose one from the drop-down list indicate how many years you have participated in that project.
Want to Volunteer with 4-H?
Volunteers fill many valuable roles within the Maryland 4-H program. Without volunteers, Maryland 4-H would not be able to offer the numerous opportunities for youth that we have available. The volunteer process includes completing registration paperwork, a interview and a screening process, the volunteer would be enrolled and an orientation would be provided. Leaders are invited to special training meetings and provided with the materials needed to conduct a 4-H club. The Wicomico County Extension office can provide you with information on how to get involved give us a call at 410-749-6141.
