4-H Club Parameters and Yearly Plan

To have a satisfying experience and meet your club goals, you need to plan. This pre-planning is called your Yearly Plan. The president may name a committee of members to do this planning with ideas from the group, then report it to the club for final approval or a small club may plan altogether. This plan is made out at the first or second meeting of the year. A copy is required to be sent to the Extension office by December 31st to maintain your charter as an official 4-H club. Changes may be made as the year progresses, but the Yearly Plan gives you a reminder of some of the projects and activities you planned to do. Refer to your Yearly Plan often and check off things as they are accomplished. If your club needs help planning, please contact Waldo County 4-H staff.

  • Includes project, activity, and other volunteers
  • (minimum of 4 youth are needed to be an official club
  • Goals are things that you want to accomplish during this year or over a longer period. Some examples of club goals include: accomplishing the requirements for a blue-ribbon club, having each member complete an individual community service project, and have the club do one group community service project. You may have only one or two goals, or you may have many goals. Try to set goals that you can really accomplish during this year. The goals should not be so challenging that the group cannot accomplish them. Remember, you may add goals anytime during the year.
