4-H Projects
Learn by doing in an atmosphere where learning is fun is a basic philosophy of the 4-H YDP. Some project groups meet once a week. Others meet once or twice a month. The purpose of these meetings is to guide the members in gaining knowledge, attitudes, skills, and habits needed to complete their work successfully.
