We have so many events, competitions, and SCHOLARSHIPS that you or your child already qualify for through 4-H! Many of our new Roundup delegates expressed that they didn't know about many of the events going on. So, we want to see what you are interested in this coming 4-H year. We will try our best to have solid teams and practices for those interested. (The survey gives the opportunity to get more information as well). Let us know by taking this survey:

Every fall, Oklahoma County 4-H does a clothing drive for unhoused people and foster children called H.U.G.S. (Hats, Underwear, Gloves, and Socks). Last summer, in partnership with the Lynn Institute, we collected items that are more helpful during the summer months. This summer, we partnered with the Lynn Institute and The Eastside Fresh Market to host a school supplies drive, Back to School H.U.G.S. We collected over 3,757 items that were donated to students all over Oklahoma County and beyond. We will be collecting our traditional H.U.G.S. for the Homeless Alliance and Citizens Caring for Children during the month of October, but feel free to start collecting now! Donations will be collected through October 31st, monetary donations will be accepted as well. Please send your checks to Oklahoma County OSU Extension, 2500 NE 63rd St., OKC, OK 73111 with "HUGS" in the memo line or call to donate using your debit or credit card, (405) 713-1125.

Tips and tricks to growing your club

Things that are worthwhile don’t just happen – they take time and effort. Positive relationships, running a successful business, good health, etc. It’s no different when growing a 4-H club.

Growing a club requires intentional recruitment and retention from each volunteer leader, club member, and family, said Karla Knoepfli, Oklahoma State University Extension state volunteer specialist in the State 4-H Office. 

“The beginning of a new 4-H year is a good time to really think about your recruitment and retention plan. Think of your 4-H families, members, and potential members as informed consumers who are comparing this program to others they may be considering,” Knoepfli said. “While you know the positive attributes of the 4-H program, it’s important to continually deliver interesting and relevant opportunities to current and potential ‘customers.’”

• Enrollment is a yearly requirement to participate in all 4-H activities and competitions.

• The cost is $20 per child.

• If your child plans to participate in any event or contest, they must have an "Active" status on ZSuite.

• Volunteers are also required to enroll yearly.

• Enrollment runs from August 1st- June 30th.
