Harper County Extension Board 4-H Guidelines
As a general rule, 4-H membership should be within the county where the 4-H'er is a resident. If the prospective member is from a different county, the Harper County Extension Board is required to approve their admittance to the Harper County 4-H Program as well as get approval from the other county.
Situations in which exceptions to this general policy may be considered include:
1. If the 4-H'er goes to school in a county other than the county of residence, the 4-Her has the choice of joining 4-H in the county of residence or in the county where he/she goes to school.
2. If a Harper County 4-H Club's official meeting place is within the school district of an out-of-county school, students of that school may join the Harper County club.
3. If a program or project in which the 4-H'er is interested in is NOT available in the county of residence or in the county where the 4-H'er goes to school, the 4-H'er may enroll in that project or program in another county.
