4-H members from any club can belong to county-wide projects. To become a member of a county-wide project a member should follow these three steps:
- Contact the project leader to let him/her know that you want to join the project group.
- Contact your Club Leader and let him/her know that you have enrolled in the county-wide project.
- Enroll in the project on 4-HOnline - there is no special listing in the online enrollment site for a county-wide project. You will just enroll in the project by name. Example: If you wish to enroll county-wide beekeeping, you will select "beekeeping" from the list of projects in 4-H Online.
A member can join a county-wide 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.
Below are county-wide projects offered. Check future newsletters and the Franklin County 4-H web page for additional projects.
