AWARDS & RECOGNITION

Price County 4-H provides opportunities for members, volunteers, and partners to be recognized for their accomplishments and dedication to the program.

• YOUTH
  • Achievement – each fall leaders receive a check list of 4-H club members. They are asked to check off if the individual has achieved. Youth achieving receive a disk for their plaques and credit for the years work in 4-H. Achievement may be measured differently with each club group. Be certain your club establishes a policy clearly identifying how one achieves. For example, Independent Members must, 1) complete project work, 2) show at a Fair, and, 3) complete their record book to achieve.

Each club should establish a 1) deadline for submission to the club leader, 2) a core of volunteers to recommend youth in project areas, 3) a plan for submitting books and recommendations to the UW-Extension Office by deadline. Project awards are given to individuals scoring 75 points or more at the county level and will receive a project disc for their plaque.
