Kansas 4‑H Celebrates State Project Award Winners

MANHATTAN, Kan. – It takes more than just skill in a project area for a Kansas 4-H member to earn the title of ‘State Project Winner.’

Each year, 4-H youth of all ages submit Kansas Project Report forms, and one state winner is selected from the senior division (ages 14-18) for each project. In addition to learning new project skills, these youth must also demonstrate growth and strength in leadership, organization, civic engagement, and above all, communication.
