Kenosha County 4-H ProjectsRotating 4-H Clover

The purpose of 4-H projects is to teach 4-H members life skills. This includes tangible skills like decorating a cake, fishing, or taking a picture. It also includes the intangible such as leadership, communication, teamwork, and organization.

Kenosha County 4-H offers different projects for our members to participate in. There is a project for just about any interest! Members are expected to work on their projects throughout the year on their own, with their family, or with the help of a 4-H leader. If they like the results of their hard work, they are encouraged to do a demonstration at their club or display it at the Kenosha County Fair or both!

1st and 2nd graders are called Cloverbuds, and they can only sign up for the Cloverbud project. Members 3rd grade and older may sign up for as many projects as they and their families are comfortable with.*

Here is a listing of the projects offered during the 2009/10 4-H year:
