Project Resources

In 4-H, there are over 130 projects to choose from! Projects are an area of focus like animal science, horticulture, clothing construction, communication, leadership, or civic engagement.

Want to teach your friends how to care for their new horse? That's a project! Want to sew your own fashion designs? That's a project, too! Want to build a skate park in your community? Yep, also a project!

Whatever sparks your curiosity, there's a project for that.

Science-Rich Learning Resources

The 4-H Science Rich handbook series was developed by a team of state and county 4-H agents to help Oregon 4-H agents and volunteers become familiar with the national 4-H science framework and how to think intentionally about science programming. Currently there are 4-H Science Rich Handbooks available for these 4-H Projects: Horticulture, Entomology, Forestry, Geology, Marine Science, Dog, Horse, Foods, and Clothing. More detailed information on this program are available here.
