North Carolina 4-H utilizes an enrollment system for all new and existing 4-H members and volunteers. The online enrollment system is called 4-HOnline. If you created a new family profile in the 4-HOnline system during the 2024 program year – or – if you re-enrolled from a previous year –it is time to update that record for the new 2025 – 2026 programmatic year.
f you have never created a family profile in the 4-HOnline system and would like to participate in North Carolina 4-H this year, we ask you to take a few minutes and create your account. This letter guides the 4-HOnline enrollment / re-enrollment process (See the section below for Families who do not have an existing 4-HOnline account).
For families with an existing 4-HOnline account. Login to your family profile, review and update youth member/volunteer information as needed. The system will walk you through each of the required sections. Note: Some application sections must be completed annually, while others ask that you review areas for any needed changes. When you have updated all the information, click “Enroll for 2025-2026.” Your membership status will be updated and sent to your local 4-H office for approval. Youth profiles should take approximately 10 – 15 minutes to update and submit. Volunteer profiles will take 25 – 30 minutes, including the annual required training video.
