Community Service 4-H Project Area

The 4-H Community Service project area consists of one project manual that contains one year of activities.

Teens leaders in 4-H have been leading community service projects for years. My Hands to Larger Service is the project book that supports their efforts. No matter what the specifics of your particular project are, this book takes you through the nature of service, making plans, recruiting a crew, getting it done, and evaluating your accomplishments. Yes, you DO make a difference!

This project area could be repeated annually with a new community service focus. Youth interested in community service in the area of literacy and reading should check out the Make Reading Come Alive project area.
