Dear Lincoln, Logan & McPherson County 4-H Families,

June is almost upon us, I can't believe it! June is a big month in 4-H with multiple deadlines on June 14th. As summer gets started, it is easy to leave paperwork until the last minute. I encourage you to think ahead and plan to get things turned in sooner than later. This will help ensure that things run smoothly at fair. Take advantage of our summer workshops! In each of these workshops youth will come away with a project ready to enter at fair leaving parents and youth with less stress at home. I look forward to seeing all of you soon. As always, let's make the best better together! :)

Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns,

Miss Caitlyn

If you need help or would like to enroll in office with us please contact us to schedule an appointment at 308-532-2683

4-H council is seeking 3 adult and 6 youth members (14 yrs or older) to be listed on our ballot for elections during fair in July. Please consider this opportunity to voice your opinion about the direction of our program. If this is something you would like to be considered for please call the office Monday-Friday 9 am -5 pm or you can email Caitlyn at caitlyn.jacobson@unl.edu.

Hello Volunteers,

If you have submitted an online enrollment for 4-H Volunteer but have not received an approved enrollment email then there is still things that need completed before you are able to help with any 4-H related event, program, workshop, etc. We have sent reminders to emails with what you all need to complete but we thought we would try this next since we are getting down to the wire on deadline for approval. Some need to complete the screening process through DHHS still and also the Volunteer Orientation videos. If you are wondering if you still need to complete something or need help getting to one of these please contact the office so we can help you get this completed!
