Portfolio:

Please read the General Instructions before attempting to complete your portfolio.  Each 4-H member is required to complete Section 1, Section 2, Story (either Jr/Int or Senior), and Photos & Clippings.  Additionally, a project record must be completed for every project taken this year.  The animal projects and Shooting Sports project each have a unique project record form (see list below).  All other projects will use the General project record.

 

Each form for your portfolio is available both as a PDF (PDF) or a 2003 Microsoft Word document (doc).  You may either print a PDF and write your information in by hand, or you may save a Word doc to your computer and enter your information directly into the text boxes in the form.  You may print your forms double sided to save space in your compiled record book, but make sure the first page of each form is a front page; do not start a new form on the back side of a previous page.

 
NOTE for PDF users:  To view a PDF, you must have Adobe Reader installed on your computer.
  
 
NOTE for MS Word users: While typing in the Word document, be advised that your keyboard's TAB key will move the cursor to each subsequent text box.  When you are ready to save your filled-in form, select the SAVE AS command and rename your document, then save it to your computer (or disk, flashdrive, etc.) for future access.

4-H is a volunteer-led informal educational organization that strives to strengthen the mental, physical, moral and social development of youth through participation in projects, events and various activities.  All youth between the ages of 8-18 may participate in a wide variety of projects, from traditional areas of livestock and home economics to non-traditional projects like cake decorating, youth leadership and robotics.  Sheridan County 4-H also provides opportunities for trips, camps and scholarships.

4-H is designed to be family oriented, and parents are strongly encouraged to participate.  Many parents become 4-H leaders, and all leaders are screened and trained.

Requirements:
Children must have passed their 8th birthday but not passed their 18th birthday by January 1 of this year to enroll in 4-H. Those youngsters who are between the ages of five and eight and are interested in 4-H, but don't meet the age requirements may be involved in the K-3 Cloverbuds program. This program helps youngsters focus on their creativity and build self-esteem. Then, when they join 4-H at the age of eight, they can become involved in the many 4-H projects.

Do I have to own an animal?
No, 4-H has a strong animal science program, but members are not required to enroll in animal projects. The 4-H Youth Development program provides educational projects and materials to help youth and adults learn more about many subjects.
 
What if I want to do a project not on the list?
Members may petition to do a "self-determined" project of their choosing. 

How much does it cost to be in 4-H?
The membership assessment is $3.00 per member and leader for each program year, October 1st through Sept 30th. In addition to this membership fee, members pay for any books and materials they might need for the projects in which they enroll. Members and their families must pay for the costs involved in completing the actual project.

How do I enroll?
Contact the Extension Office for enrollment forms, complete them with signatures of both parents and youth, and turn them in to the Extension Office.  We have an open enrollment policy which means that you can enroll at any time of the year, but to participate in County Fair, you must be enrolled by June 1st of that year and complete all requirements of your projects.
