4-H Resources

In 4-H, young people learn about topics that interest them! These are referred to as a member's "projects." Exploring your interests through 4-H project work is an excellent way to discover new skills and potential careers.

When selecting projects, consider:

Does it meet the needs and interest of the member?
Is the project challenging him/her physically, mentally, or educationally?
How much time does the member have and how much time does the project require?
What time of the year does most of the activity for the project take place?
Is the project acceptable to you as parents and does it fit into the family needs and situation?
How much will the project cost?
Is adequate space and equipment available?
Is there an opportunity for ownership and management responsibilities?
Are there leaders to help with the project, or are you willing to help the member with the project?

How are projects conducted?
