What is a 4-H Project?

4-H participation provides youth the opportunity to develop life skills through project-based learning. One of the most important aspects of project work is that the youth member determines what they want to learn. This allows the project to be self-paced, and instills important life skills like setting and working towards goals. Participants are encouraged to choose one or multiple projects that interest them; we suggest starting with one project for your first year. Youth can also participate in project-related activities such as: giving written and oral demonstrations, submitting project record books, exhibiting at county and state fairs, and participating in county, district and state-level events (i.e., Summer Camps, Citizenship NC Focus, Horse Judging, District Activity Day, Electric Congress, Horticulture Contest, etc.).

A 4-H Project is…

  • Planned work in an area of interest to the 4-H member
  • Guided by a 4-H volunteer or active parent
  • Aimed at planned objectives that can be attained and measured
  • A minimum of six hours of project learning
  • Summarized by some form of record keeping

4-H Project Resources

Most projects have an activity guide or project manual available that provides guidance through the learning process. Most have a beginner, intermediate and advanced level – this allows youth to build upon their knowledge each year and continue to challenge their skills.

The Project Manuals/Curriculum Guides can be purchased directly from National 4-H. You can also work with Moore County 4-H to review the materials and/or purchase at cost to avoid shipping expenses.
