ADULT VOLUNTEER
BACKGROUND CHECK To protect our 4-H members, the Texas 4-H Program administers an adult screening program. This screening is conducted every 3 years. All adults who will be working directly with youth (other than their own children) must complete the adult registration form on 4-H Connect to be screened. Once their registration has been approved from the State office, then we can certify those adults as San Patricio County volunteers. Only those adults who have been screened and cleared through YPS will have the privilege of working with 4-H members. There is a $10 fee for each adult who will be screened. Checks need to be made out to San Patricio 4-H Council and mailed to the Extension Office. Once a check has been received by the office, the office will mail off for the screening to be completed.
If you are not receiving e-mails
from the Extension Office, please call the office to
give us your correct address.
