There
are 19 4-H projects, with 26 areas of focus. You can learn
about everything from swine and personal development to
safety and entomology. Project groups are made up of 4-H'ers
who are enrolled in the same project and work together on
their project material. These groups are perfect for doing
service learning. You can help the community while you practice
what you're learning through your manuals.
Many
times, even if it's done with a different type of 4-H group,
service learning activities fit in with a 4-H'er's project
work.
4-H
S.O.S. is
building a database of service learning activities that
apply to the 19 4-H projects. To submit your experiences,

report," or click here.
To tell us about an idea you have--but haven't yet carried
out--for a service learning project that fits into your
4-H project work, e-mail
us!
You can also find service
reports that do not relate specifically to a 4-H project
area.
