CLARK COUNTY 4-H PROJECT SELECTION & REQUIREMENTS GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

4-H members, volunteers and families can plan meaningful 4-H project experiences with the help of this “one stop” reference.

• Select 4-H projects; • Plan and guide project work completion; • Find requirements for project completion;

project judging and/or skill-a-thons, and for the Clark County Fair and/or Ohio State Fair;

• Connect with 4-H competitive and educational opportunities at the county, regional, state, and national level by project.

Every 4-H club member should engage in one or more 4-H projects each year. Your project experience and success depends on being informed of expectations, requirements and opportunities. You and your family decide the balance between project work, club involvement and participating beyond the club level to achieve personal goals. The Clark County 4-H Project Requirement Guide is updated annually to ensure you have the current information combing the Yearly 4-H Calendar, the 4-H Family Guide, Clark County Jr. Fair Book, Ohio State Fair information and project specific resources in one place. Take time to read and review this guide while making project selections and throughout your 4-H project experience. Also, check the Clark County 4-H Web at https://clark.osu.edu for updates. Even during a normal 4-H year changes may occur and now with COVID-19, events may be changed from face-to-face to virtual or vice versa. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us by phone, e-mail, in the Extension Office or at any 4-H event. Our goal is your 4-H success and personal growth in the Clark County 4-H Program.

All 4-H volunteers are expected to follow these guidelines regarding 4-H meetings and events. Volunteers who are not in compliance will receive a first warning. A second incident disregarding our effort to protect the health, safety and well-being of members, families and communities will result in immediate termination of volunteer status.

We EXPECT all 4-H members, cloverbuds, families and volunteers to support keeping themselves and our community safe by following all COVID-19 protocols ALWAYS.

COVID-19 Protocols EXPECTED AT ALL TIMES AT ALL FACE TO FACE 4-H PROGRAMS, EVENTS, SHOWS, CLUBS, MEETINGS, Etc..

What We Learned from Navigating COVID-19 during the 2020 4-H Year?

We can … • LOOK into the crystal ball and SEE

possibilities. • FACE CHALLENGES with grace and

perseverance. • LEARN new WAYS of doing 4-H to

“Make the BEST Better”-- ZOOM, YouTube, Facebook Live, Skype, Kahootz, etc. • RISE above ADVERSITY when we work

together. • SERVE as positive role models for

community ACTION and CHANGE even during a pandemic.

• GIVE what it takes to ENGAGE young people in reaching their 4-H goals.

Just like 2020, we do not have a crystal ball for 2021.

What we do have is… • COMMITMENT to keeping you informed as

CHANGES occur. • PASSION for ensuring that the best 4-H

program is offered - be it VIRTUAL, FACE-to-FACE and/or HYBRID.

• FLEXIBILITY to change course to meet the NEEDS of the 4-H membership.

• AWARENESS of the importance of TEAMWORK and COOPERATION to make the 4-H Program happen in Clark County.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR THE CLARK COUNTY 4-H PROGRAM.

• How many projects can I complete in a year?

Special Requirements For Projects

• Space – special considerations for animal/plant projects.

• Equipment – special, type, currently have, need to purchase, etc.

• Time Frame - multiple year project, activities spread over several months, short term just a few weeks or days, etc.

you are in 4-H.

What is a 4-H Project? A TOOL… to motivate

self-directed learning in a chosen interest area.

A RESOURCE… to explore an interest area while developing life skills & knowledge.

The FRAMEWORK… for measuring progress & accomplishments in individual/group work.

Can I Take Projects in 4-H and FFA?

Basic Information About Poultry https://ohio4h.org/poultryresources This resource is extremely useful for all 4-H poultry project members, since the Ohio 4-H Poultry Resource Book is not available yet.

A maximum of three kits may be checked out for 48 hours. Call 937-398-7604 to schedule once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted to allow kits to be used in clubs. Kits include hands-on activities for members to test their knowledge and skills in key areas: Breeds, Nutrition, Genetics, Meats, Conformation, Health, Housing, Management Procedures & more.

Quality Assurance Kits: There are three Quality Assurance kits that include hands-on activities used at Skill-a-thon. Check out to use in Club Quality Assurance programs, which must be completed by June 8 and/or use to help members prepare for skill-a-thon once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted to allow kits to be used in clubs.

Resource Handbooks: Every 4-H member should purchase a copy of the Res. Handbook designated to accompany their project book. Information from the resource handbooks is used to design skill-a-thon stations and for questions used during the skill-a-thon interviews. See Project and Resource Requirements under each project.
