4-H Projects
A project is simply a topic that you can explore. As you explore a 4-H project, you’ll learn more than just subject matter. You’ll learn life skills such as communication, working with others, problem-solving, and decision-making.
Some projects are offered at the countywide level and some are offered at the club level. Hundreds are available through self-study. A PDF version of projects is available for download.
Cloverbud Project 4-H members who are in 5K-2nd grade should enroll in the Cloverbud project. The Cloverbud project serves as an introduction to 4-H and is the only project in which kids in 5K-2nd grade can participate.
Below is a list of Kenosha’s Countywide 4-H projects, meaning there is at least one project leader and regular meetings available to 4-H members throughout the county, regardless of the 4-H club in which they are enrolled.
*Youth have to be at least 8 years old and in 3rd grade to take part in archery or shooting air rifles and air pistols. Youth must be at least 12 years old to shoot .22 pistols and .22 rifles, as well as shotguns. Youths must be 12 by January 1st of the project enrollment. For example, if you choose to register for shotgun and turn 12 on December 31st, you may participate. If you are still 11 on December 31st, you may not participate in powder burning shooting sports until the following 4-H year.
