Project Achievement

SW CL Project Achievement

Cloverleaf Project Achievement


Colquitt County had 44, 4th - 6th grade 4-H students attend Cloverleaf District Project Achievement on November 21, 2019 at the Tifton Conference Center. This District competition consisted of 367 students from surrounding South West District counties. Students choose a topic from the project list and present an illustrated demonstration (speech). Speeches should be 4 to 6 minutes in length and use posters or other visuals to emphasize key points. Please note exception to speech (Performing Arts, food labs, creative stitchery) listed on the Cloverleaf Project list.  Our Colquitt County 4-H'ers all had fantastic demonstrations and 24 of our 4-H members placed 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in their project categories.  Project Achievement is one of the core programs of Georgia 4-H.

 


Junior Project Achievement


Project Achievement for junior (7th and 8th grade) 4-H'ers is a two part competition - portfolio and speech. A portfolio is a 2 page document listing the activities in which the student has participated within the calendar year. The portfolio is worth 40% of the student's score. Students also present a 7-9 minute illustration demonstration about a topic of interest to them. (Exceptions - performing arts projects, food labs, and fashion review.) Demonstration value is 60% of total score.
Portfolios must be submitted to the 4-H office by the announced December due date each year. Students will then present their demonstrations at District Project Achievement at Rock Eagle 4-H Center in February
Students will find the following information helpful to prepare for project achievement:
