Family, Home, & Health
In 4-H Family, Home, & Health projects, youth enhance the personal skills they often learn within the family and home–how to dress to impress; cook a variety of foods; plan a meal; select clothing within the family budget; mend or make one’s own clothing; eating nutritious food to feel as healthy as possible; get along with others; decorate and maintain one’s space or room; spend money wisely; create a budget and live within it; practice good manners; make wise decisions; start a business; babysit siblings or the neighbor’s children; learn about jobs and what it takes to get a job in a field that matches their interests.
These personal skills can later become hobbies that youth enjoy in their free time. Or, these skills could grow into jobs and careers that they love. Either way, the skills they learn in Family, Home, and Health can help them live full, healthy lives.
