How to Select 4-H Projects

4-H Members

• First make a list of the things you like to do or would like to learn more about. Talk over your list with your parents, leaders and friends. They may recognize some special things you’re good at that you don’t even realize you do well.
• Then compare your list with the projects described in the project guide, which can be found on this page. Ask yourself if you have the equipment, money, and time to do the projects that sound interesting.
• Your club organizational leader or enrollment coordinator will give your enrollment form when you’re ready to sign up for projects. You’ll notice that each project has a computer code number assigned to it. Mark that code number on the form. (Members should not use leader project code numbers.)
• Some projects have more than one level, such as, beginning, intermediate, and advanced. If you’ve had a lot of experience in an area, you may want to skip the first or beginning level of a project. Choose a project level based on the description in the project guide and your knowledge of that subject matter.
• If this is your first year in 4-H, choose one or two projects to concentrate on. Usually you can spend more than one year in a project unit because there are enough ideas there to span two or three years. Most 4-H’ers take the levels in order, but what you decide to take as part of your project work is up to you.

4-H Leaders

• If you are a 4-H adult leader, notice that are project code numbers which are just for you. For example, if you are a leader for Communications you will use code 30100.
• If there are several units within a project and you are a leader for only one of these units, then use the project code number for that unit. For example, if you are a Shooting Sports leader for just archery, use code 60310. You will need to make more than one entry if you are a leader for more than one project unit. For example, if you are a Shooting Sports leader for air pistol and hunting, use codes 60320 and 60340.
