Welcome to Ohio 4-HAbout 4-H4-H is a non-formal educational youth developmentprogram offered to individuals ages 5 to 19.Among all the fun things to learn about in 4-H areanimals, computers, public speaking, cooking, art,gardening, natural sciences, and much more. Youcan participate in 4-H in many ways—through clubs,camps, your school, and short-term programs offeredthrough your county or the state office.No matter what you select or how you participate, all4-H programs focus on active involvement and qualityexperiences that stimulate lifelong learning of valuesand skills.PledgeI pledgeMy head to clearer thinking,My heart to greater loyalty,My hands to larger service, andMy health to better living,For my club, my community, my country, and my world.Motto: To Make the Best BetterThe 4-H motto refers to each member. It means thateach member will do the “best” that he/she possiblycan in whatever is attempted. The member will thenstrive to improve the next time so his or her initial“best” becomes “better.” The 4-H motto encouragesmembers to stretch their abilities and capacities toreach greater achievement within their own potential.Member RecognitionEach county 4-H program in Ohio has a standardfor measuring youth success. Many countiesrecognize members with a certificate of achievementfor attending regular club meetings, taking partin club and project events, presenting a projectdemonstration, and participating in communityservice. Additionally, members who achievetheir goals in leadership, citizenship, and serviceactivities, often called “honor members,” also receivecertificates of achievement.County-level project judging assesses the quality ofthe member’s project performance. A member receivesa grade ribbon for how well the project is completed.As a result, some members earn the opportunityto compete beyond the county. Typically trophies,rosettes, and state fair participation honors areawarded to 4-H members who succeed at these levels.Additional opportunities for recognition areavailable through county, state, and national awardprograms. These awards include state trips, nationalconferences, and educational scholarships. Tolearn more about awards and scholarships, go toohio4h.org/awards.Message from State 4-H LeaderDear 4-H Parents,Welcome to Ohio 4-H 2021!

To keep work in both organizationsclearly separate, 4-H members are advised to takedifferent species or non-livestock projects in the twoorganizations or, at the very least, to take marketanimals in one and breeding animals in the other.The idea is to refrain from exhibiting the same projectmore than once.

dogs), regardless of whether that project is offered forcounty exhibition. (See more on next page.)A 4-H member cannot enroll the same animal intwo separate projects, except for dog projects and4-H PetPALS.A Note About Cost RecoveryClub leaders, project helpers, and other volunteersoften ask about the cost of project books. Why are 4-Hmembers required to buy them? The cost of a projectbook, which is usually 6, covers the cost of curriculumdevelopment, printing, storage, and delivery.This cost recovery plan is seen as the most desirableoption among alternatives such as state membershipor other fees. Each book purchased supports theOhio 4-H program at the state and county levels.Ohio 4-H depends on your support in deliveringhigh-quality, experiential education to its members.We strive to provide project books that offer value.Unless specifically stated otherwise, please help us bypurchasing a new book each year for every project inwhich your son or daughter enrolls.Understanding 4-H ProjectsProject Work Through 4-HEach project book contains a wealth of informationand activities for planning and conducting a project.The projects can be completed by participating inactivities through organized project groups or bycarrying out the activities individually under theguidance of a parent or other adult.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is a 4-H project?A 4-H project is made up of three types of activities:Hands-on activities: making, producing, practicing,observing, testing, interviewing, caring for, etc.Organized activities: demonstrations, speeches,workshops, camps, county judging, project activities,exhibits, etc.Leadership/Citizenship activities: conducting,planning, teaching, assisting, informing, organizing,etc.Does a 4-H member have to take a project?Yes. However, there are two ways to take a project,either as an individual project or as a group project.How does a member select a project?When choosing a project, consider your interests,background, what is necessary to start your project,and what is available to help you complete it. Reviewthis guide as a family, club, or group. A good rule ofthumb is to select no more than two projects as a firstyear member.Included in the description of each project is a level—beginning (B), intermediate (I), or advanced (A). Theseare primarily skill levels, so that if you have little or noexperience in a project area, for example, you are abeginner, regardless of your age. Intermediate-levelprojects are for members with some experience ina project area, and advanced-level projects are formembers experienced in a project area. There areexceptions though! Some projects were written withcertain ages in mind. In those cases, the projectdescriptions give the ages. Also, some projects aredescribed with an “X,” meaning they are appropriatefor all skill and age levels.County fairs and the state fair often have agerequirements different than those for projectenrollment. When participating in a fair event, be sureto review the related guidelines.Once you’ve selected your project(s) for the year,request the project book(s) from your 4-H club leader.Look for theto see if the project you selectedneeds an additional resource book. Each project bookis 6 unless stated otherwise here or by your countyExtension office.Where does a member begin when planning a4-H project?Once a member has selected a project, he/she shouldstart by reading the section of the project book calledthe Member Project Guide, usually located near thefront. The Member Project Guide offers step-by-stepinstructions for conducting the activities that make upthe 4-H project.Can a school project be used as a 4-H project too?No. In order for a member to achieve the progressionof knowledge, attitudes, skills, and aspirationsnecessary for positive youth development, all 4-Hexperiences in which a 4-H member is involvedmust be separate and different from previous orsimultaneous experiences in other programs, groups,businesses, and organizations.Ohio 4-H Family Guide5
Does a member have to do everything the MemberProject Guide suggests?sometimes it is necessary to bring an exhibit alongwith your project book to interview judging.No, although completing the Member Project Guidein the recommended time frame is the best way tosucceed in fair judging. How much to complete is upto the member, parents, and advisor. Depending upontheir interests and abilities, members may plan to doa little or a lot. Project plans also can change as amember’s interests and needs change.How can a 4-H member qualify to compete at theOhio State Fair?How much time can be spent on a project?It can be a matter of days, weeks, or even months,depending on the size and scope of the member’splan. Some projects also can be repeated toaccomplish additional project goals.Is it necessary to attend county-level judging tocomplete a project?For some members, project completion is nothingmore than participating in project activities,completing a predetermined number of project goals,and reviewing accomplishments with a parent orproject helper. Some counties require attendance atcounty-level judging. Always check with your projecthelper for specific judging requirements. For example,For non-animal and non-livestock events, qualifyingfor the state fair involves competing at the countylevel and being selected as state fair representative.Some counties hold events that are not state fairevents, and some counties do not hold all of theevents that take place at the state level. In addition, ifyou are taking a project with age guidelines and areoutside of the recommended age range, be sure todouble-check county and state fair regulations aboutparticipating (ohio4h.org/ohiostatefair). Generallyspeaking, youth outside the recommended agerange are not eligible for competition. For animal andlivestock events, be sure to check state fair guidelinesat ohio4h.org/animalsciences.Please note: Ohio State Fair eligibility, as indicatedby a green ribbon ( ), is current at time ofprinting but is subject to change. Eligibility for thecoming year is usually available in February atohio4h.org/ohiostatefair.Statewide Programs4-H Event Youth AssistantCampingThis statewide group of 4-H teens assists with OhioState Fair events.
