Project
A series of six or more hours of learning experiences within an area of interest. Members learn and then share what they’ve learned. A 4-H project is what a 4-H member learns, creates, or acts out (example: learning to grow a garden, making a dress, or training a dog). 4-H members should work on at least one project each year and complete the record book for that project.
Large Animal Project
An animal project that requires the 4-H member involvement or ownership and care of a large animal (i.e. sheep, goat, swine, beef, dairy or horse). This would include any supporting events and activities in the large animal projects.
Project Work Through 4-H
Each project book contains a wealth of information and activities for planning and conducting a project. The projects can be completed by participating in activities through organized project groups or by carrying out the activities individually under the guidance of a 4-H volunteer, parent, or other adult.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a 4-H member have to select a project?
Yes. However, there are two ways to select a project, either as an individual project or as a group project.
How does a member select a project?
When choosing a project, consider your interests, background, what is necessary to start your project, and what is available to help you complete it.
County fairs and the state fair often have age requirements different than those for project enrollment. When participating in a fair event, be sure to review the related guidelines.
Once you’ve selected your project(s) for the year, request the record book(s) from your 4-H club leader. Look to see if the project you selected needs an additional resource book.
