If you don’t see a project that you have signed up for in the past, check the listings at the back of the 4-H Project Guide. You will find a list of past project areas with the new project areas. If you still don’t see what you are looking for, there is a Self-Determined project in each project grouping; you can choose a unique project to explore.
