WHAT IS A 4-H PROJECT?

A 4-H project is an area of interest that you want to learn more about during the year. The project is where learn-by-doing takes place. Within the project, you will find things to learn, to do, to make, and explore.

4-H members in grade 3 and above must enroll in at least 1 project each year. Members in kindergarten, 1st & 2nd grade may only enroll in the Cloverbud project.  Some projects have specific requirements (including grade level) for youth to enroll.

Each 4-H club will attempt to obtain a Project Leader when there are 3 or more members enrolled in a project. The Project Leader will notify members when and where the project meetings will be held. Most projects will require at least 3 project meetings and often more are held. When there is no Project Leader, the member will be expected to work individually. As a family, you can use the 4-H project literature to guide your learning.

Projects can be offered individually, at the club level, or be available countywide. Contact the General Leader of the Club for projects at the club level. Below is a list of countywide projects. Please refer to the countywide projects page links for details about each countywide project.
