The next meeting for the 4-H Online Cat Club will be next Thursday November 8, 2018. This month we will be discussing Stray and Feral Cats. The meeting will start at 6pm CST, hosted from A211 in the Animal Science Building on East Campus for any Lancaster County youth.
4HOnline is Now Open for 2018/2019 Enrollment
Please enroll for the 2018-2019 4-H year through 4HOnline at https://ne.4honline.com. Please note: You will need to use Google Chrome or Firefox as your web browser to enroll.
A question that's asked frequently, "If we were in 4-H last year, do we have to re-enroll this year?" The answer is YES - everyone has to re-enroll.
NEW: This year, you will re-enter all of the projects in 4-H Online. Past years' projects were cleared from the youth’s profile in an attempt to present accurate data to our stakeholders when reporting. Be sure to select all projects you want to take this calendar year. Thanks!
