4-H Re-enrollment Time!
September/October 2019
Ozaukee County WI. 4-H
2 University of Wisconsin Madison—Division of Extension
We teach, we learn, we lead, we serve...
These changes effect ADULT VOLUNTEER enroll-
ments.
A few changes will be implemented into 4H Online,
impacting how you re-enroll for 2019-2020. The tips on
the front page still apply, but please note the following:
Volunteer Type for Adult Volunteers (required)
New in the 2019-2020 enrollment year, the State 4-H
office will be providing Volunteer Role Descriptions
to all adult volunteers. This is necessary to comply
with UW-Madison policies concerning volunteers
and state liability insurance coverage. All adults
will need to select a club and volunteer type in 4H
Online. Volunteers should choose all options that
may reflect their involvement with 4-H for 2019-
2020 year. This info will be completed on the
“Additional Information” tab in your 4H Online
profile. If an adult DOES NOT select a volunteer
type, their profile will be returned to them and not
approved in the system until completed.
The choices for club volunteer type are:
Activity/Event Volunteer
Adult Advisor/Chaperone
Club Enrollment Coordinator (formerly Club En-
rollment and Club Manager)
Reenrollment Changes: NEW this Year!
As we kick off another 4-H year, we welcome new adult
volunteers and thank you for your willingness to serve in
this capacity. 4-H takes steps to ensure a safe and healthy
environment for youth and encourages safeguards for
adult leaders.
Each new volunteer is required to attend one session of
new volunteer orientation. Volunteers who have not en-
rolled in the last five years must also be retrained.
New Volunteer Orientation process includes the following:
Complete the online enrollment form which includes
a Volunteer Behavior Agreement (4H Online)
Participate in a New Volunteer Orientation session
Authorize a background check (4H Online)
Complete online Mandated Reporter Training
New Volunteer Orientation
Club Leader (includes Organizational/General and Co-
Organizational/Co-General)
Committee Volunteer
Project Leader (includes Key Leader and Resource
Leader)
Project Leaders will still need to select a project(s) and
volunteer type on “Participation” screen under
“Projects” tab. (ie: Archery Project Leader). This part is
the same as previous years.
Volunteers will receive a volunteer agreement letter
from the state 4-H office after enrollment is complete
containing volunteer role confirmation. This is linked
to state liability insurance. If something would happen
while performing a volunteer role you did not register
to take on, you may not be covered.
Older youth (age 18 and up) that are transitioning
from being youth members to adult leaders– you can
roll your youth profile info to the adult role. However,
please note that when filling in years in 4-H on the
“Personal Information” tab, it will be the years in 4-H
as any ADULT leader at that time. DO NOT include
your youth years.
The timeline for new adult approvals can be a few weeks.
Therefore, if you are interested in becoming an adult vol-
unteer with Ozaukee County 4-H, please keep the extend-
ed timeline in mind and sign-up early before the event(s)
you wish to volunteer for.
**Adults wishing to volunteer with The Haunt—Early
registration and volunteer orientation is a MUST.**
New Volunteer Orientations are scheduled at the Ozaukee
County Administration Center for:
Wednesday Sept. 25th at 10:00-11:30am in Room 118
Wednesday Sept. 25th at 6:30-8:00pm in Auditorium
Monday, October 7th at 6:30-8:00pm in Auditorium

Plat Book Refresh The Ozaukee County plat book is being updated. The last

ble for families.

2020 publication.
Pricing for ads is:
Full Page $995
Half Page $495
Quarter Page $295 (full banner across entire page)
Eighth Page $195 (business card size)
Friend of 4-H line item or memorial $ 50
Many of the advertisers listed in the 2015 book have re-
committed to purchasing an ad in the new book. If you
have an idea of a business, person, or family who might
like to purchase an ad, have their name listed as a ‘Friend
of 4-H’, or include a memorial mention in the book, please
contact Marcia Nosko via email at [email protected]
by August 31st with the word ‘Ad’ in the subject line. Mar-
cia will compare your submission against the current con-
tact list to ensure duplicate contacts aren’t made.

7 4-H Motto
To Make the Best Better
National 4-H Week National 4-H Week takes place the first full week in Octo-
ber! Ozaukee County 4-H promotes National 4-H Week
for the entire month through several of the Ozaukee
County libraries. These libraries have graciously given
Ozaukee County 4-H access to their display cases to ex-
hibit projects that 4-H youth have created and exhibited
at County Fair. These projects are an example of the wide
variety of opportunities that the 4-H program holds for
young people.
Projects selected for this promotion received a black ro-
sette during judging. These items were selected to show-
case Ozaukee County 4-H specifically for these displays!
If you received one of the black rosettes, please bring that
project to the Extension office by Friday, September 13th.
The exhibits will then be sent to various libraries for dis-
play. The Extension office will let you know where your
exhibit is on display so you may go and see it.
Then beginning in November, your project will come
back to the Extension office and will be available to you
to pick-up and take back home.
Thank you in advance for sharing your project as part of
this important promotion of Ozaukee County 4-H!

ing fun.
Also, a very special thanks to the 4-H youth volunteer,

Pool Party Recap
The Ozaukee County 4-H and County Board Exchange took place on Wednesday, August 21th. 4-H youth gathered with
the Ozaukee County Board Supervisors prior to the start of the County Board meeting to share leadership, citizenship,
travel and educational opportunities experienced and life skills gained in the 4-H program. In return the County Board
Supervisors listened intently and asked questions, creating an experience that reinforces positive youth-adult
relationships, a key component within the 4-H program.
The meeting opened with the pledge of allegiance followed by Maria L. singing the National Anthem. 4-H youth were
seated with the County Board Supervisors during the Board Meeting to learn how the County Board operates. During the
meeting several questions were posed by the 4-H youth regarding the first presentation given on project lifesaver. The
day was rewarding for the 4-H youth and the
County Board Supervisors as they interacted and
engaged prior to and during the board
meeting. The success of the Exchange is a direct
reflection of those involved and their contribution
to the day. We thank the youth for
participating and sharing their experiences and the
adult volunteers that made the event run smoothly.

Oz Cnty. 4-H Foundation I would like to give many thanks for all the staff for this
year’s summer camp. I am continually amazed at the
quality of youth leaders that keep coming up through the
ranks. I would like to say what great mentors and role
models our counselors are to the younger youth. I would
also like to recognize our adult staff. Without you, we
would not be able to have such a successful camp. You
happily take your time and vacation to give these kids a
fun filled camp experience. You are a gift to the program.
The skills taught and smiles displayed at our break-out
areas including: shooting sports, camping skills, nature,
waterfront, crafts and outpost adventure are priceless. I
would also like to give a big thanks to the unsung staff:
our nurse, our dining hall coordinator, our photographer
and our coordinating assistants. Finally, thank you to our
Assistant Director and Jr. Director. We received a great
email from our 4-H Liaison, Jessica, who attended camp,
stating we had the best camp volunteers that she has ever
worked with in all her experience in 4-H. What a
compliment! I would like to say thank you to Jessica, as
she was a pleasure to work with and gave great guidance
when needed. Ozaukee County 4-H is blessed to have all
these volunteers. We look forward to next years camp.
We welcome any new faces to volunteer for camp and of
course want ALL 4-H youth to experience camp.
