Cross County Lines Policy • Youth are expected to affiliate with the 4-H
program in their county of residence. However, in some circumstances, it is appropriate for a youth to participate in 4-H in a county other than their county of residence, which can be done with the approval of the 4-H professionals in both the county of residence and the county of request. Once granted, the permission for membership across county lines is expected to be permanent and stable, for the duration of the youth’s 4-H membership. However, once granted, the 4-H family can request changes again, using the same process. This privilege is extended only for those youth who maintain membership in good standing.
Process • In situations where membership in a county
other than the county of residence is desired, the Educators in both counties must be in agreement regarding the application. The agreement will be based upon their professional judgment in accord with the mission of the organization .
• The decision to allow or deny Cross County Line Membership will be made by the county 4-H professionals in the County of Request and the County of Residence, and fully supported by State
