Intentional engagement in projects is a central part of the 4-H experience. 4-H members are encouraged to set specific project goals, keep written records of their 4-H club year, and reflect on their experience annually in their 4-H Record Books. Records are turned into the local 4-H office by October 31st of each year. Each 4-H member who submits their record book receives constructive feedback and may receive a ribbon, project pin, or other award for effort and achievement. Some youth will be invited to submit their record books to a state level Records contest.
Please contact your regional office if you have questions about the Mass 4-H Records Program.
Watch for local workshops and help sessions in your area and you can visit the UMass Extension 4-H Records page!
