Project Selection

Choosing the perfect project can seem like a daunting task for our members, especially when we offer over 220 of them.  To help with the project selection process, members and their families have a couple of different options to explore all that is offered.  The Paulding County Extension Office houses a copy of all project books that are currently offered through Ohio 4-H.  Youth may stop by the office during normal business hours to look through project books.  Members may also view the Ohio 4-H Project Guide which lists each project with a description.  The Ohio 4-H Project Guide can be viewed by visiting https://ohio4h.org/familyguide.  A third available option, and very helpful, is Project Central.  Project Central is a searchable database of all the current 4-H projects offered.  Project reviews left by 4-H members can be found and members can view a selection of project book pages to gauge interest.  To view Project Central, visit https://ohio4h.org/books-and-resources/project-central. 

Project Selection Deadline: January 3rd, 2025

We will only be placing orders a couple times a month to help keep shipping cost down for our office as well. If you order your books through our office by Friday, January 31st, 2025 you will receive free shipping.
