4-H Project Selection Guide

This guide will help 4-H families, clubs and groups select projects for the year. (This includes members enrolled in one-project clubs, EFNEP groups and special community and school programs.) It provides the information necessary to make intelligent project choices. Information provided includes:

  • Project Description - The page number of each project description.

  • Younger Members - This symbol (Y) indicates if the project is ideal for 8 to 10 year-olds.

  • Project Skill Level:

  • State Competition - Projects to be judged at the Ohio State Fair are indicated by this symbol (Y) 4-H members are normally selected for state fair events as a result of county fair competition. Although participation in fairs is optional, we encourage family involvement in this type of learning activity.

  • Project Resources - Projects that require additional resources, such as a Resource Handbook, member's project guide or livestock record, in addition to the project manual are indicated with a Y.

  • Group Projects - Designed to be taken as group projects only. Each contains ready-made lesson plans for project advisors to use. Members may decide to take one or more of these as a group project. All group project manuals (GPM) are identified by this symbol Y.
