Citizenship & Community Service Ideas
The following are ideas which may spark a new service idea for your club.
Club
Kits
There is a list of Club Kits which are packaged lessons available for you to borrow to do programs for your club. "Click Here" to view the listing. Projects
4-H Project Library There is a library of all project books available to members. Encourage members who want to review a project book in-depth before making an enrollment decision to check out a project book. Sign out is for one week. 2008 New Project Information The most significant changes are projects this year in Dogs and Goats. There is now a Goat Resource Handbook, much like we have in Sheep, Swine, Beef and Rabbits. Every goat project member is going to need a copy of this new manual, designed to be used for many years. Dog projects have been completely revised. Dog projects will now have a Resource Handbook for project information, but will also still specify a project area such as Obedience, etc. The old Dog Care project is now called You and Your Dog. Explanations of the new Dog projects are included with each Dog Project and Record Book. There is a new Llama & Alpaca project this year. Advisor Worksheet for Project Literature Christy has created a form to help you make sure you have the correct books for members when they sign up for a project. To view this form, "Click Here". She has also created a "Guide to Livestock Project Literature..... What books do I need?" to help members/advisors make sure that have the correct books. To view this guide, "Click Here". (Both of these flyers are in PDF Format) Back to the top Here are a few highlights of upcoming 4-H Activities:

New pancake breakfast hours will be 8 a.m. -10 a.m. so you won’t even have to rise as early to take advantage of 4-H Pancake Day. Back to the Top 4-H Advisor Volunteer Application |
