Projects
4-H empowers young people with hands-on learning experiences in a variety of project areas to help them grow and thrive. Each year, a 4-H member enrolls in at least one project. Members participating for the first time may be encouraged to take on only one or two projects. As members gain experience, the size or depth of the project may increase or additional projects may be selected. Some project groups meet once a week, while others might meet once or twice a month. The purpose of these meetings is to guide the members in gaining knowledge, attitudes, skills, and habits needed to successfully navigate educational and professional pursuits, and their role as citizens in a complex world. Projects help 4-H members find and nurture their spark. (Source University of California and Jackson County Or 4-H Program)
