3 2 CLARK COUNTY 4-H PROJECT SELECTION & REQUIREMENTS GUIDE INTRODUCTION This guide has been developed to serve as a one stop reference for all 4-H project information. This comprehensive reference will help 4-H members, volunteers and their families plan meaningful 4-H project experiences and will serve these roles: Resource for selecting 4-H projects; Guide for planning project work completion; Reference for specific requirements for project completion, project judging and/or skill-a-thons, and/or ; and a source for 4-H competitive and educational opportunities at the county, regional, state, and national level by project including events, shows and activities at the Clark County and Ohio State Fairs. 4-H project investigation should be a key part of every 4-H member s club experience. A successful project experience results when members, volunteers, parents and/or legal guardians are adequately informed of project expectations and requirements and take appropriate action to carry out those guidelines. A great project experience requires a balance between project work, club involvement, participating in 4-H activities beyond the club level and working towards obtaining one s personal goals. In order to ensure 4-H family s have the necessary information to make informed project decisions, we have combined information from the Yearly 4-H Calendar, the Book, various 4-H Committees Project Rules, and the 4-H Family Guide into this 4-H family friendly guide. We encourage you to take time to read and review this guide while making project selections and throughout your 4-H project experience. Your continued use of this reference will ensure you meet any 4-H project requirements and deadlines as well as not miss out on valuable 4-H educational and competitive opportunities.
