Projects may be done on an individual basis at home or as a group activity at club meetings. Maximum learning takes place when members are allowed to do their own work with suggestions and instructions from leaders and parents.
Parents are often a key member of the teaching team.
The member, working with their leader and parents, set specific goals which are based on the members opportunities, interests and abilities. Project completion and recognition are determined by the Extension Staff. Certificates, ribbons, 4-H scholarships and medals are presented. Project reference materials, leader guides, and other materials are provided for the projects listed on the Project Selection Sheets. Usually, members select their projects at their January club meeting.
