Junior-Senior Project Achievement
As a Junior and Senior 4-H member, project achievement becomes a two-fold project. You will pick a topic that you enjoy and want to share with other people. You prepare a presentation related to that topic. The second part is a resume of all your activities throughout the year from January – December including project work, 4-H, school, work, and community activities. It gives you resume building and public speaking skills and provides an excellent opportunity to develop leadership and citizen skills. You earn a free trip to Rock Eagle 4-H Center with fun, games, and dances with your 4-H friends. If you place first at the Senior level, you will receive a free trip to State Congress in Atlanta during the summer, to compete on the state level.
Be on the lookout for competition dates, practices, and work days!
