4-Hers have the opportunity to learn more about a subject matter that they choose to study through completing hands on activities, called projects. The Jennings County 4-H Program offers more than 60 projects for area youth. In order to enroll in a project, members must sign up for them at the time of enrolling in 4-H. Each project has a manual that guides the youth through the learning process as well as a set of guidelines that helps them meet the project requirements. We provide adult volunteers and staff who are knowledgeable on that particular subject who will often times provide workshops to allow th​e youth to learn about that topic in a social environment. Each project has a beginner, intermediate, and advanced level-this allows youth to build on their knowledge each year and continue to challenge their skills. Projects are meant to be worked on over time, providing an educational opportunity for youth outside of the classroom setting. Often times, youth will exhibit and display their project at a local county​ fair in order to show the community what they have learned.  There is no limit to the number of projects youth can sign up for. 

Check out our project links below to learn more details about each project. State eligible projects are linked to the State 4-H page and you will need to go to the "Project Resources" and click on "Exhibit Guidlines" to view project specifics. Certain State projects have additional forms or record sheets that need to accompany your project exhibit and are noted next to projects below.
