Ohio 4-H project age members are required to enroll in at least one 4-H project. Completing a project is part of the learning process of 4-H. Each of Ohio's over 200 projects have its own set of learning experiences and guidelines for completion. New in 2025, we created Project Requirement Guides to help members understand expectations and explore different projects. These provide the requirements for completing your 4-H projects and steps to qualify for junior fair exhibition.
These will be updated and added to this page as they are completed.
Sections listed below align with the Ohio 4-H Project Guide. You can see the full project guide at HTTP://ohio4h.org/projectguide
