4-H Online Enrollment

All 4-H members and volunteers must register in 4-H Online

4-H Online is the official North Carolina 4-H Youth Development Program database for enrolled 4-H members and volunteers. This system works as a partnership between the 4-H family and the County Cooperative Extension office to manage the 4-H enrollment process and distribute important information to you. This system allows you access to update your club information, sign up for events or camps, and keep medical information up to date. 4-H online will ensure that you are properly enrolled in the county program and receive important news and updates such as newsletters, deadline information, and leadership opportunities.


Who Needs to Enroll in 4-H Online?

All active North Carolina 4-H youth members and volunteers.

What Do I Need to Enroll?

To enroll through the 4-H Online system, you need a computer or tablet, Internet access, a valid email address, and a web browser. Suggested web browsers are: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari. Internet Explorer is not compatible with the 4-H Online website.

Where Do I Enroll? 

Enrolling can be completed through the following website: 4HOnline

Follow the prompts given on each page. For families with multiple members or parent volunteers, add each member to the same family account. Here’s a PDF that will walk you through the general enrollment steps including club selection, and adding members to your family.

When you “submit” a youth or adult profile the information is sent directly to your local 4-H agent for review and approval. Once your profile has been reviewed and your local 4-H agent approves it within the system, you should receive an email notification (sent to the Family email address established during the account set-up).

Volunteer Background Checks


All volunteers who work directly with youth in any unsupervised capacity must also submit a background check, separate from their 4-H online enrollment. This must be completed every 3 years. You will receive information about this from your 4-H agent after you have completed your 4-H online enrollment.
