San Diego County 4-H

MARCH 2010 MEMOS Crossover Project Questions

What is a crossover project?

San Diego County 4-H wants to give its members as many different opportunities to learn as possible. If a member’s primary club does not offer a certain project of interest (or the project has reached capacity) the member may seek to participate in that project with another club.

When is a youth member eligible to crossover?

In order to qualify to crossover to a project in another club one of the following requirements must be met:

The primary club does not offer the project of interest. (Example: Sagebrush does not offer Robotics and Alpine does.)

The primary club does offer the project but the project has reached size limitations. (Example: Jamul Baking Project can only accommodate 10 youth and 12 youth have enrolled.)

The primary club does offer the project but less than 3 youth have enrolled. The youth would benefit more from interacting with a larger project group in another club. (Example: Buena Vista has 2 youth who have signed up for Beef. They do have an active project volunteer but the volunteer and youth have decided it would be better to interact with the larger Beef group in Poway. In this instance the Beef Project Leader for Buena Vista would need to contact the county office to re-sign as the Project Leader or update their online enrollment to reflect this change.)

How do I participate in a crossover project and where can I find the forms?

To participate in a crossover you need to request a “Crossover Form” from your Community Club Leader, on the San Diego 4-H website (http://cesandiego.ucdavis.edu) or by contacting the County Office. This form should be requested by the youth member wishing to crossover. This form helps to open the lines of communication between the two clubs involved and the Project Leader. A crossover must be approved by the Community Club Leaders as well as the Project Leader and 4-H Staff. The youth would also need to enroll in the crossover project in the online enrollment system by adding the club that offers the project as their additional club (from the club tab) and then on the project tab select the project of choice from the additional club’s project list.

When should the crossover form be submitted?

Forms can be completed at anytime during the year. However, if the youth member wishes to exhibit at a fair in the crossover project, the form and the online enrollment should be completed by December 31st of the 4-H program year. If you need help completing this process do not hesitate to ask the County 4-H Staff for help by calling 858-694-2861.

As fair season approaches the San Diego County 4-H Staff would like to remind all 4-H members and vol-unteers that a binding agreement does exist between 4-H, FFA, Grange and the Fair and Exposition Administrators. Excerpts from that agreement are provided below. To view the document in its entirety you may visit the State 4-H website. Non-adherence to this agreement could result in disqualification from the fair and/or auction. It is agreed that when an individual belongs to more than one organization, or exhibits as an independent, he/she must carry a different ownership/entrepreneurial project in each organization/independent. To further clarify this policy, when a member maintains projects in 4-H, FFA, Grange, or independently, the projects may not be in the same kind of livestock or crop production classification. “Production classifications” refers to the grouping of livestock and crops with consideration given to their production type and usage not simply by species. For example, a beef project in FFA and a sheep project in 4-H would be acceptable since these two projects are both different species and produce a different commodity, but a beef breeding project in FFA and a beef market project in 4-H would not be acceptable since they are of the same species and produce the same commodity of beef. A member of an FFA chapter, Grange, or 4-H unit or independent exhibitor may transfer projects from one organization/independent to another only once during a calendar year. All transfers must include official notifica-tion by the member to the organizations involved of their desire to drop and/or add a project and take place at a time that would allow for the supervision of the project by the respective organization/independent. To be able to show a project at an endorsed fair, exposition, or other sponsored event, it must be owned and supervised according to the following requirements: Poultry – must be owned and supervised for not less than 30 consecutive days and be enrolled in the project for not less than 60 consecutive days. Rabbits – must be owned and supervised for not less than 30 consecutive days and be enrolled in the project for not less than 60 consecutive days.

All feeder and breeding animals (except rabbits, poultry and horses) must be owned and supervised for not less than 30 consecutive days and be enrolled in the project for not less than 60 consecutive days. Market sheep, swine, veal, and goats – must be owned and supervised for not less than 60 consecutive days. Market beef – must be owned and supervised for not less than 120 consecutive days. Horses – must be owned/leased and supervised for not less than 120 consecutive days. We are in agreement that members are expected to care for, prepare for show, and exhibit their own animals while at the fair or livestock show. However, because of the educational nature of livestock shows, it is appropriate on occasion for parents, leaders, or other youth eligible to exhibit at that show to provide assistance. Assistance should always be given only when the exhibitor is present and actively engaged. If you have questions about the interpretation of this agreement please contact the San Diego County 4-H Staff at 858-694-2861
