Ribbons that recognize accomplishments in projects & programs

4-H Projects & Programs

4‑H programs are grounded in the belief that young people learn best by doing. Kids complete hands-on projects in many areas where they receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles. They can concentrate on one focus area or they can try a variety of programs throughout their 4‑H experience.

Regardless of the project area, all 4‑H programs include mentoring and career readiness as core elements. Project Record forms can be found on the Forms & Links page. Visit the pages in this section to learn more about specific programs and projects that interest you!
