How to Choose your 4-H Project:

-Select a project you like.

-Consider the money and time it will take.  Can parents/guardians help?

-Consider the space and equipment that you have at home.

-A 4-H Project should be fun, serve a purpose, and be worth the effort.

-Select only the number of projects you can complete.  Start small and work your way up!
