2026 4-H Alumni Engagement - Fair Judging Interest
  • 4-H Alumni Volunteers Needed

    4-H Fair Judging Interest
  • It is time to start thinking about 4-H Fair Time, and we invite our 4-H alumni to share their expertise with current 4-H youth.

    We are seeking alumni who are interested in serving as judges or assisting with judging at either the local county or state fair level for the 2026 fair season. Your knowledge and experience play a vital role in supporting meaningful learning opportunities for youth as they showcase their 4-H projects.

    By completing this Judge Interest Survey, you are simply indicating your interest. This is not a registration or commitment to judge. Names of interested alumni will be shared with local and state 4-H Extension staff as they identify judging needs for county and state programs.

    To learn more about 4-H project areas, you are encouraged to view the 4-H Project Guide.

    Thank you for helping us continue to “make the best better” and for supporting the next generation of 4-H members.
