The Club tab above has the clubs displayed on a map and the contact information can be seen by clicking on a group. Our club managers are volunteers and may take a day or two to respond to your e-mail. If you do not hear back from them, please contact our office for further assistance. Once you join 4-H club, you are allowed to participate in any 4-H activity in the county.\u00a0 But you must be registered for all clubs whose meetings you will be attending. You are allowed to join multiple clubs and some clubs have limited membership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In Tarrant County we have school clubs, community clubs, and special interest\/project clubs. Some clubs focus on just one project and some offer a multitude of projects. It all depends what the volunteers in that club are able to lead. We rely on parent\/adult volunteers to serve as Club Managers and Project Leaders. Projects can also be self-led by the member if they are interested in a particular project not currently offered, or we encourage them to start a group around that project. Check out our monthly newsletter on the Newsletter tab above to see what clubs are up to in the county.<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; background: white; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 15.0pt 0in 15.0pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #433c3a; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Once you contact a club, please attend the next club meeting.\u00a0 The manager and the parents in the group will be a great source of information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; background: white; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 15.0pt 0in 15.0pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #433c3a;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">After you contact a club, you will need to enroll all youth who will attend in 4-H Online.\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>4-H Online Membership System<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Enrollment for 4-H is handled through the state database,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/texas.4honline.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">4-H Online<\/a>.
