4-H youth membership is $100 paid to Alameda County 4-H.

Pro Tips

Only one family member can use the same email as the family profile email (the one used to log into 4-H Online) – update all of your member’s email address.
Volunteers should indicate if they are a project leader in 4-H Online. This is how the report is generated to communicate to project leaders & submitted to the Fair.
