Activities such as tours, field trips, judging, camps, contents, and workshops enhance the learning. Projects vary in difficulty according to the age and experience of the member. Adults often see 4-H projects as ways to create more interest in daily tasks, strengthen family and community ties, develop leadership skills, and explore vocational opportunities. Youth want projects that are fun, help them discover new information, and help them learn new skills. A 4-H project has the potential to meet all these goals.
All members have the opportunity to grain recognition for their work.
This is an important part of 4-H. Recognition comes in many forms. They may exhibit at a variety of 4-H events and receive a ribbon to acknowledge their accomplishment. Certificates and achievement seals are also provided for completion. Contact your regional UVM Extension Office . Last reviewed October 16, 2000.
