Your 4‑H Adventure is About to Begin!

Your 4‑H Adventure is About to Begin!

4‑H helps young people learn important skills, gain real life experiences, and build strong relationships so they're ready for work, life, and their future. 4‑H also helps youth learn how to learn!

The 4‑H Project to Pathway Plan, shares the main steps for completing 4‑H project work. It is to be used by 4‑H youth and their Spark Supporter. With the 4‑H Project to Pathway Plan, youth are taking the first step to find out what they like, what they are good at, what makes them happy, and where they want to go. The guide will help youth make their your own learning plan, and it helps youth think about what they learned through their 4‑H project and how the learning will help them with a future job and life.

Start with a Spark, then Shape, Share, and Shine your 4‑H project today!
