This guide is designed to assist individuals, families, clubs and
groups in selecting and planning their 4-H projects.

Each project is listed with the following information:

PROJECT NAME
PROJECT LEVEL
ENROLLMENT OR MATERIAL ORDER NUMBER

The project enrollment or material order number matches the names and codes on the member or leader enrollment form.

4HCCS, Cost, or Web  indicates the cost of materials or where they can be located. See 4HCCS below for clarification.

Suggested Grade Level  provides information on whom the project was designed. Most projects are divided according to three levels: beginners, intermediate and advanced. They were designed to be appropriate for youth in that grade level. Parents and volunteers need to help the member access what level they need to take in each project.

 Project Description  provides a brief listing of some of the learning experiences and activities that are included in the project. ADDITIONAL PUBLICATIONS includes other pieces of material such as judging guides or records available for that project. Use member or volunteer enrollment or re-enrollment forms to order literature and materials for 4-H projects from your county Extension Office.

Cost of 4-H Materials

To help with the ever increasing costs of production and distribution of 4-H materials a small cost has been assigned to several materials. Counties will order 4HCCS member materials directly from the source. They will cost about $4 per manual.

Member materials handled through the NDSU Extension Distribution Center and ordered from another state will cost $4.

Member materials printed in North Dakota will cost $2.

 There is no charge for helper guides used by volunteer leaders. Staff in your county extension office will be able to clarify questions you may have on the cost of 4-H materials.

WEB — materials that can be found on the NDSU 4-H web site are linked to the project description.

4-H Cooperative Curriculum System 

4HCCS is the nationwide curriculum development system of the Cooperative Extension Service. Its mission is to provide quality experiential based curriculum products to 4-H and other non-formal youth development organizations. North Dakota is one of the states that helped to develop this system. Many materials in this guide are 4HCCS materials, and they are identified as (4HCCS).
