Proudfoot, Extension Specialist, 4-H Youth Development, Virginia Tech.  \nWhat are 4-H Charters?  \nA 4-H Charter certifies a group as an official Virginia 4-H entity that meets minimum requirements as set by the Virginia 4-H program. A 4-H group with a charter has the following privileges:  \nF Authorization to use the 4-H name and emblem, under guidelines set forth by the Unit Extension Office and the State 4-H Office.  \nF Inclusion under Virginia Tech's financial and insurance programs.  \nF Authorization to raise, allocate, and disburse funds in support of local 4-H programs, projects, and groups. What groups are required to have a 4-H Charter?  \nThe United States Department of Agriculture requires all 4-H groups to have a charter signed by a representative of National 4-H Headquarters, the Extension Director, and issued by the State 4-H office  \nThe following 4-H groups in Virginia must have a 4-H charter. Each of these 4-H groups must also renew its charter annually.  \nYouth-based 4-H groups:  \n• All types of 4-H clubs including school-based clubs;  \n• Cloverbud groups.  \n• In general, any group of 4-H members who are organized as a specific club or Cloverbud group should be chartered. See the definitions of 4-H club and Cloverbud group below for more information. Temporary youth-based groups such as 4-H judging teams and 4-H camp counselors are not required to be chartered unless they are organized as a club.  \nAdult volunteer-based 4-H groups:  \n• Unit, district, and state 4-H volunteer leader associations or their equivalent;  \n• Unit, district, and state 4-H Leadership Councils or their equivalent;  \n• Unit, district, and state 4-H All Star organizations;  \n• State IFYE Association;  \n• 4-H Foundation;  \n• 4-H educational centers; and  \n• 4-H collegiate clubs.  \nIn general, adult volunteer-based groups that use the 4-H name and/or handle 4-H funds should be chartered.  \n[www.ext.vt.edu](www.ext.vt.edu)  \n4-H Programs versus 4-H Groups  \nA distinction must be made between 4-H clubs and groups and 4-H programs. 4-H school-enrichment programs, special-interest programs, after-school programs, and 4-H EFNEP/SCNEP programs are presently not required to have charters. These programs are not organized using the club/group delivery method. However, if an after-school program includes an after-school 4-H club, then that club must be chartered.  \nThe following information details specific minimum requirements that 4-H groups must meet in order to be eligible for a 4-H Charter.  \nWhat is a 4-H club?  \nA 4-H club is an organized group of youth, ages 9 to 19, with elected officers and a planned program that is conducted throughout the year or the majority of the year. Youth are responsible for decision making, includingthe collection and distribution of funds. Clubs are guided by trained volunteer leaders. Members may focus on one or more project areas and will participate in a variety of learning experiences during the year. 4-H clubs may be operated on the unit, district, or state level. 4-H clubs that are required to have 4-H Charters include community clubs, project clubs, after-school clubs, and military clubs. 4-H clubs that draw members from across the whole school population such as a middle or high school 4-H club also must have a 4-H Charter. In-school, classroom-based 4-H clubs are also required to have 4-H Charters; however, they must meet slightly different charter application requirements.  \nWhat are the minimum requirements for a 4-H Charter for clubs?  \n1. Membership of at least five 4-H members (diversity of membership is encouraged)  \n2. At least two enrolled and trained volunteer leaders (an agent can serve temporarily as one of these leaders)  \n3. Enrollment through 4-H Online including Health History Report, Code of Conduct for youth, Standards of Behavior for Virginia 4-H Volunteers, and Media Release forms on file for all members an","cbCaibEMlpe6rriD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibEMlpe6rriD","pdf",450923,"English","# What are 4-H Charters?\n## What groups are required to have a 4-H Charter?\n## 4-H Programs versus 4-H Groups\n## What is a 4-H club?\n## What are the minimum requirements for a 4-H Charter for clubs?\n## What are the requirements for the annual 4-H Charter renewal for clubs?\n## What are the minimum requirements for a 4-H Charter for in-school, classroom-based clubs?","[{\"question\":\"What privileges does a 4-H Charter provide to an official Virginia 4-H group?\",\"answer\":\"A charter authorizes use of the 4-H name and emblem, provides inclusion under Virginia Tech’s financial and insurance programs, and authorizes raising, allocating, and disbursing funds for local 4-H programs and groups.\"},{\"question\":\"Which youth-based groups in Virginia must have a 4-H Charter?\",\"answer\":\"All types of 4-H clubs, including school-based clubs, and Cloverbud groups must be chartered.
