YF-0026 Alabama Project or Activity Report Form for 4-H Junior Members
Alabama Project or Activity Report Form
for 4-H Junior Members
YF-0026, Reviewed October 2005. Lamar Nichols, Extension Assistant Director, 4-H and Youth Development. Originally prepared by Fariss Prickett, former 4-H Foods and Nutrition Specialist, and revised by Wilma Ruffin, Extension Family and Human Development Specialist.
 eeping good records is an important part of being a 4-H member. Good records help you keep up with the work you’ve done, the time you’ve spent, the things you’ve learned, the times you’ve helped others, and the awards you’ve won.
Here’s a tip on how to keep good records. Keep a chart handy to write down every time you do something. One good way is to write this on a calendar you keep near where you work, such as at your
desk, in your workshop, or in the kitchen.
These charts and notes will help you when you complete the project record sheets your agent gives you. Finally, use the record sheets to organize the information about your 4-H work on this project/activity report form. Complete the form, section by section, and ask your 4-H agent for help if you need it.

Section 5. My 4-H Story
Your 4-H story should be about your major project. It should tell what you wanted to learn, what you did learn, and what you did to help others. Write your story on a separate sheet of paper and attach it to this publication. Here is an outline you can follow. Don’t use numbers like this to mark your sections,
though.
- Tell who you are; a little about your family, school, interests; and why you joined 4-H.
- Tell about your major 4-H project, including such things as a funny, happy, or scary experience; something you learned; a good time you had; things you did or achieved.
- Tell about your other 4-H work. Include such things as work done, most meaningful awards, and information shared.
- Tell what you’ve done to help others such as the elderly or needy, how you’ve served on committees or as a club officer, how you helped solve a community problem such as finding safety hazards, and anything else you want to tell about yourself.
