4-H Projects
Larimer County 4-H offers over 40 projects to choose from.
You can enroll in as many (or few) projects as you want. If you enroll in more than 5 projects, however, you will need to pay a higher enrollment fee.
Each project will require access to some materials. For some projects, these may be materials you already have around your home. Other projects may require a significant investment. You can look at each project page to see what materials you need access to. If you still have questions, give us a call or talk to your club leader.

4-H members select 1 or more projects to complete over their 4-H year. The next year, the 4-H member can enroll in the same project at a more advanced level or enroll in a completely new project. They learn new skills by completing the activities in the project. Our staff and volunteers work to support 4-H members and their families. This includes offering advice, access to expertise, organized activities, connecting you to resources, and more.
Many 4-H members choose to show their project at the Larimer County fair in August. This is not required to complete a project, however. If you do not wish to participate in the fair, talk to your club leader or 4-H Agent to ask how you may complete your project.

It's important to remember that projects require access to materials, supplies, or sometimes live animals. For example, livestock projects require youth to care for an animal that they purchase or lease. A sewing project will likely require that you have access to a sewing machine that you own or borrow. You may already have many or even all of the materials needed for some projects.
If you see a project you are interested in, please feel free to contact us to see what materials are required. We can also provide resources/ tips for how/where to acquire materials at a discounted cost.
