Kenosha County
4-H Projects
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:

What is a 4-H Activity? 4-H Activities are short-term educational and/or social experiences that all Kenosha County 4-H members may participate in. There is no option to show work at the Kenosha County Fair.
Some of these projects
have countywide leaders, some have club leaders, and some will
be independent study. For a list
of the countywide projects is available here. For information on
what projects a particular club has leaders for, please contact
a General Leader. For more information
about a particular project or on how to become a project leader,
please contact the Kenosha County UW-Extension Office.
*It is recommended
that the number of projects any 4-H member takes equals the
number of years he/she has been in 4-H. It is also recommended
that the number of projects not exceed five, no matter how long
a youth has been a 4-H member. Please also note that some projects
have their own age requirements.
**Indicates a project has countywide leadership. In addition, some of the countywide projects have additional dues and meeting requirements. Please consult a member of the project team for more information.
