Community Service | 4-H Project Resources & Curriculum

Community Service Objectives: In the 4-H pledge, members state that they will strive to use their head, heart, hands, and health to improve their club, community, country, and world. Community service projects are meant to demonstrate leadership, strengthen local 4-H units in leadership responsibility and encourage other youth to effect change on important community issues. Community service projects are strongly related to service learning projects, but are different in that they are focused on community needs and can be tailored to any community need that exists.
