Design Your Own offers an opportunity to develop and carry out a project with a personal plan. This means selecting a topic, deciding goals, obtaining resources and designing records. The member is responsible for developing the project with the advice or direction of an adult. This project can cover any subject and may be related to any current 4-H project. The member’s manual and leader’s guide suggest ways to proceed.

Project Requirements

Evaluate the project by determining the extent to which the goals were accomplished, what was learned and how it could be improved. The individualized learning plan should be approved by a parent, 4-H adult volunteer leader or 4-H agent. For assistance with developing a personal learning contract, use the Design Your Own project materials or other goal-setting resources.
