4-H members from any club can belong to countywide projects. To become a member of a countywide project, a member should follow these three steps:

  1. Contact Franklin County 4-H staff to let them know you want to join the project group and to receive contact information for the project leader.
  2. Contact your Club leader and let him/her know that you have enrolled in the countywide project.
  3. Enroll in the project on 4-H Online - there is no special listing in the online enrollment site for a countywide project. You will just enroll in the project by name. Example: If you wish to enroll countywide beekeeping, you will select "beekeeping" from the list of projects in 4-H Online.

A member can join a countywide project even if they have already enrolled. Just follow the steps above and log in to your 4-H Online account and edit your listing to add the project.
