Mini 4-H Projects
Mini 4-H is a program designed to introduce young people in the first and second grade to 4-H without the competitiveness of the regular 4-H projects. Mini 4-Hers join clubs, make projects and exhibit at the fair, just like regular 4-Hers. However, they exhibit these projects in a non-competitive environment. There are a total of 18 Mini 4-H Projects available, however, we suggest that you sign up for only 2 or 3 in any single year.
