Each 4-H member who enrolls in one of our community or school clubs, must enroll in and work in a project each year. At the end of the year, a Project Book can be combined with supporting materials and turned in as a Project Record. Below, you will find all of the information necessary to complete a Project Book and Project Record Book. Please read our Fact Sheet for complete information.

If you are unsure if an older version of 4-H curriculum is a complete Project Book or an activity only, please contact us at the office. We're happy to answer all of your project-related questions!

Please review this Action Plan (PDF) and Project Fact Sheet (PDF) before proceeding.
