4-H Blast

February 27, 2025

Have you enrolled in 4-H for 2025?

If not, this is a warning that, after March 15th, if you have not enrolled, you will no longer receive the 4-H Blast newsletter to your email. We are working on creating our 2025 mailing list; if you would like to stay in-the-loop on 4-H programs and happenings in York County, you need to be enrolled.

March's newsletter will be the last you receive if you haven't enrolled. HOWEVER, if you enroll between March 15th and June 15th (deadline for fair participation), you will be added in on our list. Please reach out to the Extension Office if you have any questions!

Join us for our Spring Workshop on Monday, April 21st!

York County Communication Contests are open to all 4-H & Clover Kid youths!

4-H Enrollment is open!

4-H enrollment is open for the 2025 Fair Year! Please remember that you must re-enroll every year; when you do, please double check projects, grade level of youth, and T-SHIRT SIZE (we use this info for fair exhibitor shirts!).

Reminder, if you are planning to participate in Shooting Sports, you must select your discipline area from projects to sign consent forms AND make sure you are listing either York Street (BB, Air, and Archery) or Clay Busters (Trap) as either the primary or secondary club.

Classroom Connection

Whether your classroom is in a school, community center, park, or living room, we know learning needs to be able to happen anywhere. And Nebraska 4-H is ready to help deliver high-quality learning experiences in your classroom wherever it might be.
We’re proud to launch the new 4-H Classroom Connection, a collection of life enrichment experience designed for groups of youth in school classrooms, home school co-ops, afterschool programs, and families looking for supplemental learning experiences. All the programs are supported by a statewide network of positive youth development experts, bringing the education of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln straight to your classroom. 4h.unl.edu/classroom-connection
