The 4-H Achievement Program is intended to recognize 4-H participants with outstanding accomplishments and to provide an incentive for youth to increase their knowledge, skills, and abilities. It is a comprehensive program spanning the entire career of the 4-H’er, awards points for outside efforts and interests, and encourages growth and development by awarding high points at multi-county, state, and national levels. As youth work their way through the achievement levels they become eligible for scholarships to teen summit, teen conference, and eventually college scholarships. The 4-H program year runs from September 1 to August 31 of the next year. Youth who are age 9 as of January 1 of that program year may start documenting their 4-H achievements, participation, and projects to go toward their 4-H Achievement Application.

The achievement application is now open! Visit https://franklin.mgcafe.uky.edu/4-h-achievement-program to view the application and instructions.
Franklin County achievement applications are due - November 1st.
