The project is a set of activities centered around a specific subject. Each member or group selects one or more projects according to interest and ability. Each project requires the member or group to establish goals, work toward those goals and evaluate the progress made. 4-H is a people program. It's objective is to assist in the development of boys and girls.
Projects are tools for teaching young people by stimulating their interest.
To help youths develop skills from their experiences in club groups, leadership activities and projects. To teach 4-H members how to think, not what to think. They'll learn by making their own choices. The most significant recognition that can be given to members is praise, attention or compliments letting them know they are important and what they have done is worthwhile. For some, 4-H may be the only place they get this support.
