3. Training/Fingerprints
TRAINING - After creating a profile and “logging in”, select the “ Trainings” tab. Click “+New Training”. Click on the “Youth Protection Training”. Complete the training (30-40 mins) and pass the short assessment.
FINGERPRINTS - After the assessment is complete, your 4-H Agent will submit your information to the state office to start the screening process. Within a few weeks, the state office will contact your local 4-H Agent to confirm that you are ready to schedule your fingerprints. Once notified, your 4-H Agent will contact you and ask you to call the state office to verify your personal information and schedule fingerprints at your convenience.
