Enrollment

4-H provides opportunities for both youth and adults.

4-H is open to youth members in grades kindergarten through 13 (one year out of high school).  4-H also has opening for volunteer leaders who wish to help youth grow in 4-H.  If you have questions or for further 4-H information, you can contact us in the Lincoln County UW-Extension Office at (715) 539-1072.

Youth Membership

All enrollments to 4-H needs to be handled by the individual clubs.  Our 4-H Club page lists all the clubs in Lincoln County, as well as providing meeting and contact information.  Since enrollment and club activities are handled individually by each club, we encourage you to contact the club leaders directly and to visit a club meeting to get a better understanding of what the club has to offer.  All enrollment forms should be handed into the club leaders directly.
