4-H Projects

What Do 4-H Members Do?

The projects for 4-H are as diverse as today's youth. Some youth pursue hobbies such as computers, arts & crafts, photography, horticulture, woodwork, sewing and cooking. Other youth choose skill sports such as sport fishing, shooting sports, and biking while others select animal projects such a livestock, horses, dog training or exotic animals.

2007 Clover Handbook

Regardless of selected project areas or club activities, 4-H youth are encouraged to do community service and to develop leadership skills. We have many opportunities for recognition, for development of public speaking ability, for competition with peers, and of course for FUN.
