September 1st marks the new 4-H year!
This means your club data and enrollment info must be updated! This data will remain in the system until September 2023, so if you update it now, you will be ready to go once summer activities start.
Additionally, members are encouraged to join a chartered club, and Utah 4-H only recognizes chartered clubs. At a minimum, chartered clubs must have at least five members from three or more families. Research over the years has proven that youth involved in 4-H programs see the most benefit in the traditional club setting. By chartering your club, you ensure that you provide the quality 4-H experience that kids deserve. Furthermore, to participate in 4-H activities around the state, including State Contests and State Livestock Shows, youth should be active members in good standing, meaning they are involved in chartered clubs.
Summary:
-
All youth and adult leaders need to re-enroll on Zsuite. 4h.zsuite.org
- If you are part of a recognized chartered club, register under your club's name.
- If your club has at least five members from three or more families, contact Hailey ASAP so she can add your chartered club to the list. Then, wait until the club is added before you register.
- If you are part of a family club, register as "Summit County Family Club."
- If you don't have a club but want to be a part of one, register as "I don't know what club I am in," and I will contact you.
Benefits of Chartered Clubs:
- Chartered Jr. Livestock Clubs are welcome and encouraged to fulfill their members' required educational events for the Summit County Jr. Livestock Show and Sale.
- Access to curriculum resources, such as Discover 4-H.
- Positive Youth Development
- Increased social and leadership opportunities
- Allows 4-H staff a mechanism to know who their active clubs are
Please get in touch with our office, and we will do our best to help you, your club, and members thrive in the 4-H program.
