1. Junior Master Gardener Registration Agreement
The JMG Registration Agreement Form registers a properly organized and functional JMG group. The registration serves as a permit for the use of the 4-H and JMG service marks, names, logos and emblems. (PLEASE READ THE “JUNIOR MASTER GARDENER PROGRAM POLICIES AND GUIDELINES".)

2. Youth Group Enrollment Form
The JMG program reaches thousands of youth across the nation. To document each youth’s participation in the program, the group leader must complete the group enrollment form for each group. This information will provide statistical data for sate and federal governments for future funding and civil rights documentation.
Use the following guidelines when completing the enrollment form:

County: County in which the JMG program is being conducted.
Group Name: The name can be selected or created by the group. If another group
has already registered under the same name the group will be asked to select
another name.
Delivery Mode: The JMG program can be organized in various settings.
Organized 4-H Group: JMG group is part of an exiting 4-H program such as a community club, project club or school club. (Those participants who are 4-H members are considered duplicates in this file.)
Special Interest: Organized or coordinated by Extension personnel and directed and/or taught by volunteer leaders. The meetings are conducted in informal classroom and/or garden settings.
School Enrichment: JMG curriculum is used in a classroom setting, led by school faculty, a staff member or a volunteer. May be part of an afterschool program, latchkey, or summer school.
