Enrollment Information

Please note that we are switching enrollment systems for the 2026-2027 year, 

so all families will need to create NEW family profiles in the system and add their family members!

WELCOME!

We are glad that you have chosen to be part of the largest non-formal youth education organization in the United States! Over 7 million youth participate in 4-H each year to become self-motivated, productive and contributing citizens.

4-H is designed to be a family affair so 4-H parents are encouraged to get involved in the 4-H experience. Ways that 4-H parents can contribute range from serving as a project leader to providing transportation to activities, or even supplying refreshments for meetings or special events. 4-H parents are also needed to help supervise 4-H activities.

Bastrop County has an outstanding group of dedicated adult volunteer leaders as well as a superb group of motivated 4-H members. We welcome your family into our Bastrop County 4-H family!

Please feel free to contact the Bastrop County Extension Office (CEO) for more information about the county 4-H Program.

Best wishes for a fulfilling year in 4-H! We look forward to seeing you at events.

HOW TO JOIN 4-H:

Decide which Club is convenient for you from the Club List.  Reach out to the Club Manager with questions and verify that meeting time & location have not changed. (Examples: Does your club have a Clover Kid program. What project areas are youth in this club actively participating in?)

1. Attend 1 to 2 meetings to decide if the club is a good social fit for your family and if you enjoy the programs and activities.

2. Once you have found the club that fits your family, register them in the TX4H system at https://tx4h.tamu.edu/:

   • Create a family profile first.

   • Add each member of your family (youth and adult) to that profile. Be sure to include the parent’s email and phone number.

3. Cost of membership is usually $25 to $30 for youth (3rd-12th grade), $10 for Clover Kids (K-2nd grade), and $10 for adults.

4. Choose your projects and attend 4-H meetings, events, and activities!

HOW TO CHOOSE A 4-H PROJECT:

Select a project you like - check out a list of 4-H projects at https://texas4-h.tamu.edu/projects.

1. Consider the money and time it will take. Can parents/guardians help?

2. Consider the space and equipment that you have at home.

3. A 4-H project should be fun, serve a purpose, and be worth the effort.

4. Select only the number of projects you can complete.

5. Participate in project opportunities as announced through Bastrop County 4-H Email Blasts or other 4-H social media!

Remember to contact your County Extension Offices to learn about purchasing deadlines associated with livestock projects.
