**DO NOT** create a new profile if you have been enrolled at any time prior to July 2023. Families that were active in 4-H online anytime from 2018 to 2023, will have the same login email for ZSuite, but will need to click "Forgot Password" and reset the password. The link is on the system login page.
New families (never enrolled in 4-H) will create a new household profile in the ZSuite system.
Step 2 Details:
Under "Units" click +Add Unit button, select "Redwood 4-H Club".
Under Unit Roles and Select "Member"
Under "Projects" add "Group-Determined" to complete ZSuite enrollment from "In Progress" to "Pending".
Note: We do not use ZSuite for Project Sign Up. If you add additional projects in ZSuite, we will not see them. Due to timing not all Projects are listed in ZSuite before we open our Project Sign Up, so we only use your google form response in Step 1 with your top ranked choices to assign projects to members. After project rosters are announced, we will submit your confirmed projects to County and they will go back in and update your Projects in ZSuite.
Under "Units" click +Add Unit button, select "Redwood 4-H Club"
Under "Unit Roles" and Select "Member"
It takes ~10 minutes to fill out the ZSuite registration and sign the waivers.
Some Projects (like Rising Stars, State Exchange, Guide Dogs, Teen Project and Square Dancing projects) are countywide projects. Sign up for those projects in ZSuite.
