We encourage you all to apply for the Clay County 4-H Achievement Application. (AKA 4-H Record Books)!! This is your chance to show off all your experiences and successes from this last year! Youth will complete a four-section application that they can customize to fit their story! Achievement Applications are important for so many reasons! Record keeping in 4-H teaches valuable life skills and is an important part of completing each project. Record books help members set goals, keep track of activities, record events, track project costs, and a whole lot more! They also teach members valuable, lifelong skills in record keeping, accounting, reporting, and written communication. County Achievement Applications can be up to 8 pages long.
