ACCESS 4-H Online Enrollment is here! It is the most important element of our digital commitment and is designed to address the unique needs of the 4-H system.

ACCESS 4-H:

• Provides sound data for states to fulfill national ES237 requirements
• Aggregates accurate data about 4-H and its impact—influencing funders, and national, state and local leadership
• Anticipates enhancements such as fair and event management, support of multiple LGU’s in a single state, and real-time project-specific reporting and impact tracking
• Builds on Council’s core principles—promoting learning and innovation, and enabling the system to optimize its impact on young people and their futures.

ACCESS 4-H offers feature-rich system that saves state and local 4-H offices valuable staff and budget resources.

Additional tools will enhance the core enrollment features and functions, helping staff perform their jobs more effectively, enriching the 4-H experience for youth.

Key features the system will support include:

• Online projects
• Record books
• Impact tracking

In the months ahead, youth, volunteers, and staff will begin managing content on their public web pages linked to 4-H.org. Working with state program leaders and enrollment specialists, we will continue building innovative new features and capabilities.

The most important feature of the system: One-click, anytime ES237 reports. See statewide enrollment figures instantly.

• County educators and agents see what’s happening inside their counties, clubs and programs.
• On a national level, we get real-time “snapshots” of the system.
  

Flexible data entry replaces paper forms and increases efficiency.

• Allows prospective members and volunteers to enter and edit their information online and submit it with the click of a button.
• Frees up many hours of time for staff

Additional report options will be added as development continues.
