The mission of the Purdue Extension 4-H Youth Development Program is to provide real-life educational opportunities that develop young people who will have a positive impact in their communities and the world. 4-H carries out this mission through hands-on experiences for youth alongside their peers and caring adults. Indiana 4-H Youth Development strives to be the premier, community-based program empowering young people to reach their full potential.

Program Fees:
Porter County Program Fee is $5 for K-12th grade 4-Hers.
Indiana Program Fee is $15 for 3rd-12th grade 4-Hers (families enrolling more than three 3rd-12th graders will be provided a discount for state program fees, which is calculated during the 4HOnline enrollment process.)
Program fees are non-refundable and help keep our program operating… and they minimize (though don’t eliminate) our need for fundraisers! Your one-time per year program fee opens all facets of the world of 4-H: participation in traditional community (township) clubs, special interest “Spark” clubs, the Porter County Fair, and more!
ATTENTION: Paying online with your credit card rather than selecting to pay by check expedites your active status. Your enrollment is not active until your payment is received at Purdue. Your enrollment must be active to submit state scholarships in January, enroll your cattle in February, and more.
