Why must 18-, 19- and 20-year-old 4-H members go through a background check?
Any youth aged 18, 19 or 20 (at the time of the event) who attends an event as a participant and who is housed with younger, unrelated youth must not be housed with or share bathrooms with younger, unrelated youth unless he or she has completed a background check including one reference check and a criminal history check. This is for the protection of both older youth and younger youth who may be rooming together.
