4-H Professionals

We designed the ACCESS 4-H Online Management System with 4-H state and county professional staff in mind!  The goal of ACCESS 4-H is to help improve your efficiency.  The management system’s key benefits include:

Time-Saving Features

•  Automated ES-237 Reports
  Enter county data directly into the system and avoid submitting ES-237 reports. Run reports and compare trends instantly. Once all 4-H institutions use the ACCESS 4-H Online Management System, the need to submit an ES-237 report will be virtually eliminated!
• Flexible Data Entry Options
  Online Enrollment allows 4-H families to enroll and update their own records. You can even incorporate a staff approval process for data entered by non-4-H staff.
• Multiple LGU Support
  No more manual aggregation of numbers from both institutions in one state! ACCESS 4-H supports 4-H programs from multiple Land-grant institutions in one state without workarounds.
• Multi-Channel Contacts
  Send bulk emails and text messages to program participants or print mailing labels and member cards directly from the database.
• Future Policy Change and Initiative Support
  Your management system needs to adapt with 4-H. This system is built by 4-H, so changes happen automatically.

Better Use of Data

• Customization
  Customize ACCESS 4-H to meet your needs - build your own reports, change fields and forms, design your dashboards, and more!
• Multi-Year Data
  Batch, upload and store historical data - all functionality for the current program year can be used for past or future program years.
• Bordering County Member Management
  4-H members and volunteers participating in multiple counties are managed with one record.
• Track Non-4-H Data
  Track program affiliates (donors, politicians, external content experts, etc.) and any other people in the system without impacting 4-H data. All regular system functionality applies to non-4-H data.
• OpenID Integration and Open API
  ACCESS 4-H leverages OpenID, the leading single sign-on solution. Utilizing OpenID provides opportunities for states to create specific IT projects. We are currently working with a user LGU to create an Inventors Platform for youth.
• 4-H Science
  Track and report on "4-H Science Ready" programs. Evaluate program dosage and build in YEAK Survey. 4-H Science professional development resources are integrated and available via the system dashboard. Eliminate the need to respond to surveys from national by simply having data in ACCESS 4-H Online Management System.

Stay Connected

•   Alumni & Friends 
  Stay connected to your alumni! ACCESS 4-H gives your alums the opportunity to stay connected to your program and keep their contact information current. Even if your alums live in another state, they can make their information visible to the state where they participated in 4-H.
• my4-H.org Adult Professional Development Communities
  my4-H is an online community comprised of adult professionals, volunteers and 4-H alumni. Use it for networking, professional development, and to access resources and subject matter experts. my4-H is an exclusive benefit, as it integrates with the ACCESS 4-H database via OpenID single sign-on solution.

We know changing data systems can be a time-consuming and often painstaking process. That is why we make joining ACCESS 4-H as seamless as possible. Each state is unique and we work with you throughout the entire implementation process to ensure specific needs and issues are addressed.

Contact the ACCESS 4-H team to schedule webinar demonstrations, onsite training opportunities and details about how we will tackle data migration, whether from a commercial or custom University database or even if your data is collected and stored in multiple places.

Support 4-H

We understand that not all states can immediately transition to ACCESS 4-H Online Enrollment as their primary online management system use for various reasons. You can still support 4-H as we work toward a true national enrollment database.  You can batch data in to the system while maintaining your current enrollment platform.

This supports the 4-H movement and allows data collection across all states, and provides you with some of the great features of the ACCESS 4-H system. Contact the ACCESS 4-H team to learn more about this feature.
