Standards of Recognition 2024

What are the 4-H Standards of Recognition?

4-H Standards of Recognition is a tool to help 4-H youth set and achieve goals and are part of our recognition model. Recognition is an important part of the 4-H experience; it helps master skills and knowledge by providing feedback on progress towards goals. It also encourages 4-H project record keeping. Here’s how it works:

At the beginning of the 4-H year, youth decide which level of recognition they would like to accomplish. The levels are “Learn By Doing”, “Making the Best Better”, “Heart of 4-H” and “Grow a True Leader”. There are also 4 levels for Cloverbuds: “Head”, “Heart”, “Hands” and “Health”. To help youth decide, they should review the Standards of Recognition performance measure chart with their parent or club leader. The chart outlines what a member needs to do in order to achieve each level of recognition.

COMPLETED APPLICATIONS DUE TO THE 4-H OFFICE BY FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 6, 2024.

4-H Members & Cloverbuds will be recognized at the September Achievement Night, date TBA.
