4-H Members learn by taking part in: Washington 4-H logo

Project Work. Project work helps members gain knowledge and skills and learn to take responsibility. By doing project work at home, members can develop a feeling of partnership with their parents.

Public Presentations. 4-H members show and tell others how to do things they learn. This is a members' first step to helping others and developing leadership.

Record Keeping. 4-H members write a record and story of what they have done in each project. Keeping records helps members evaluate their 4-H learning and develops business sense. Records must be completed and signed by members' parents and leader at the end of the 4-H year.

Recreation. 4-H'ers learn to enjoy life, themselves, and their association with others in social activities.

Club Projects. The entire club can plan a project. In Community Service projects, 4-H'ers do things to improve their community. 4-H clubs often choose community projects in conservation, beautification, safety, or health.4-H'er and her duck project.

County Contests. 4-H members taking part in contests are judged so they learn how to improve. 4-H'ers receive ribbons for their efforts.

Exhibits. Members may exhibit their project results at club meetings, local fairs, and the State 4-H Fair. Exhibiting 4-H projects shows others what 4-H'ers are doing, helps members find where they can improve their work, and gives members sense of pride and accomplishments.

4-H Camp. Many 4-H members attend camp. They take part in educational and recreational experiences as they learn more about nature and themselves.

4-H Exchanges. Exchanges can be arranged with clubs from different counties, urban and rural members, clubs in other states, Canadian clubs, and with similar programs in other counties. Exchanges help 4-H'ers develop a broader knowledge of people and living situations and provide the chance for creating lasting friendships.
