Why are 4-H youth encouraged to complete and submit records?

When you keep records of your 4-H projects all year long, you learn how to:

  • Set and achieve realistic goals
  • Keep detailed logs of the projects you choose
  • Communicate with others about what matters to you
  • Celebrate successes and learn from challenges
  • Reflect on what your projects helped you learn
  • Connect your 4-H interests to the rest of your life
  • Build your interests and skills over time
  • Gather information for an amazing resume
