Calling all teens! Are you interested in completing your Ohio 4-H Achievement Record to compete for state achievement awards, scholarships, and other state opportunities?

What is the 4-H Achievement Record? It's a comprehensive record of a 4-H member's career, accomplishments, and achievements. It is a great way to capture all the experiences they have had in 4-H, practice for filling out future job or college applications, and get a head start on applying for scholarships.

We will be hosting a work nights on the above dates. During these sessions, Chris will work with participants to better understand the following:

  • What is the Ohio 4-H Achievement Award Form?
  • What criteria are used in judging award applicatons?
  • How do I keep track of all my activities and projects?
  • What can I do to catch the judge's attention?
  • Is the way in which I word my activities really all that important?
  • What are the different awards levels and how do I advance?
  • When I'm all done, what do I need to hand in?

If this sounds like it may help you, be sure to attend. As you prepare materials, invite your parent(s) or your club advisor, if you like; they may be assisting you as you complete your application. Bring any records that you have compiled or past applications that have been submitted. We'll see what we can do to get you started in the right direction.

Although this meeting is geared toward older youth, it's never too early to start keeping track of your 4-H achievements! Members of any age and their parent/guardian are welcome!
