North Carolina 4-H Project Record Report 2026
Introduction
4-H Project Records help members document what they have learned and accomplished through their 4-H experiences during the program year. Keeping records allows 4-H’ers to reflect on their growth, track their achievements, and organize the skills they develop through projects, leadership, citizenship, and community service.
Project Records are an important part of the 4-H experience and may also help when applying for opportunities such as 4-H portfolios, awards, educational trips, scholarships, jobs, and college applications.
Description
Each 4-H member should complete their Project Record to the best of their ability and submit it to their county 4-H agent by the county deadline.
Project work should reflect activities completed during one program year (January 1 – December 31). Information should only be listed once in the section where it best fits.
Your Project Record should represent your own work and experiences. While family members, volunteers, or 4-H leaders may provide guidance, the record should reflect the member’s learning and accomplishments.
Submitted materials become the property of North Carolina 4-H and may be used to showcase 4-H work. Personal identifying information will not be shared.
Qualifications
• Be enrolled in North Carolina 4-H during the program year
• Complete a Project Record based on activities from January 1 – December 31
• Submit their record by the county deadline
Members may submit records for one or more Project Record Categories, depending on their participation.
Age categories are based on the member’s age as of January 1 of the program year.
