Teen Awards & Opportunities Workshop

Apply for county and state achievement awards, scholarships, camps and conferences using the Ohio 4-H Achievement Record. How do you know if you’re eligible?  If you are a current 4-H member who will have passed your 14th birthday (but not yet passed your 19th birthday) by January 1, 2026, you are considered to be eligible for these opportunities.  However, in order to compete for awards selection and recognition, you must complete and submit an Ohio 4-H Achievement Record Form. Not sure how to get started or have you completed these forms in the past and would like help to make them better? Lisa will hold a Teen Awards & Opportunity Workshop on Wednesday, September 3, 2025 starting at 6:30pm at the Licking County Extension Office. Reach out to Lisa at mccutcheon.46@osu.edu to register!
