What is a Project Record Book?
A record where youth track and record their activities, events, skill development, learning experiences, and much more!
Why should I complete a Project Record Book?
Project Record Books give youth an opportunity to reflect on what they’ve learned and accomplished through a year. They document new skills and experiences in a written report to measure their achievements and growth. Record Books encourage children to set goals, pursue strategies to meet those goals, and to overcome obstacles.
In addition to helping teach youth essential life skills, Project Record Books also award 4-H members for participation in 4-H activities which provides an incentive for participation, learning, and achievement.
Project Records are judged at the State and District level. 4-H’ers have the opportunity to win Gold, Silver, or Bronze at each level, with many winners receiving a monetary award. See the 2024 Awards Handbook for more information.
