4-H Youth Development
Annual Enrollment Fees
The 4-H Program Year starts on July 1st and ends on June 30th.
Annual enrollment fees are $65 per youth member and $30 per adult volunteer.
Families that are experiencing financial difficulty can submit a Fee Waiver Request for their children. We want every youth who is interested in 4-H to be able to participate and grow in the program, regardless of financial considerations.
COVID-19 Update
Based on recent CDC guidance and on the current level of community transmission in Kern County, masks are no longer required, but are still recommended, for all indoor 4-H activities, regardless of age or vaccination status. Masks are not required for outdoor activities.
