Portfolio and Resume
Maine 4-H portfolios and resumes showcase the skills, experiences, and achievements of 4-H members. These documents serve as a personal record, allowing members to reflect on their growth and accomplishments in various projects and activities. Portfolios and resumes are invaluable for 4-H members as they prepare for college applications, job searches, scholarship opportunities, and beyond.
The primary function of these documents is to highlight the skills gained through 4-H involvement—such as leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving—demonstrating how these experiences translate into real-world applications. These tools are used when youth members apply for Maine 4-H National trips, Maine 4-H Foundation Scholarships, and other events. Through the use of portfolios, 4-H members can effectively communicate their unique stories to potential employers, educators, and community leaders. Maine 4-H portfolios and resumes empower youth to take ownership of their journey, equipping them with the tools needed for future success.
