Project Record Judges Needed

The deadline for 4-H Record Books and Portfolios is fast approaching, and the state 4-H program is seeking dedicated people to serve as judges. Your participation is essential to the success of this process, and we invite you to be a part of it.

If you are interested in this rewarding opportunity, please review the details below.  Volunteers, this is an excellent chance to gain valuable experience while supporting 4-H members in completing their record books. Make a meaningful impact—sign up to judge today!

The dates for judging are: Project Record Judging – April 25-27 and Portfolio - April 28-30, 2025. Our judges are one of the reasons that our 4-H youth can excel and the judge’s constructive comments help to improve our 4-H’ers record keeping skills. This is why we are asking for your help. We need 30 judges for each day of project record judging and 10 judges for Portfolio judging.  Judges will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis and all registrations for judging must be entered online no later than March 10, 2025.  Judges must be registered/approved 4-H Volunteers.  

I anticipate we will be able to complete all of our judging during the allotted time so please come ready to work.   We will provide lodging and lunch for you.  If you sign up to judge and find out that you can no longer judge, please let us know.  If you do not give this notice, you will be invoiced for the charges (lodging, meals, snacks etc.) that are incurred during the time for which you registered to help. Please understand that we are not trying to discourage anyone from judging, we just need a firm commitment, to ensure we have enough judges and that we are good stewards of our resources. We understand emergencies that come up. Just communicate with me and let me know.

 

4-H Volunteers who are judging:  Also – to judge we need to have all of our judges registered in 4-HOnline.  I anticipate most of you are however if you are not, please work with your 4-H Agent to register or go here: https://v2.4honline.com/#/user/sign-in

If you are already registered then you are all set. Go to the link below to register for judging. Please note that registering in 4-HOnline using the above link does NOT register you to judge – see link below for that.  Google Registration is required.

 

If you are available to help, please mark the dates for judging on your calendar.  Your participation in this process will benefit the 4-H'ers as well as yourself. 

 

Below is a schedule so that you can check your calendar. For those who can stay for more than one day, we will provide lodging. You will also have some meals on your own.  If you can only help judge one day, we suggest Saturday for Projects, but we welcome help on any of the date selections below! We will do an orientation on the first day.
