Giving a demonstration, talk, or presentation about your project
Exhibiting your project work at a fair or contest

Helping a younger student with their project work
📝 How to Write It:
Just like your Main Project Work, this section should be written in clear bullet points.
Be specific about what you did, when you did it, and who benefited.
Example for a Food and Nutrition project:
Gave a “Healthy Snacks” demonstration at my 4-H club meeting in February
Helped a classmate learn how to bake banana bread in April
Entered my granola bars in the County Fair in July and won 1st place
Helped lead a Cloverbuds cooking activity in August
Example for an Environmental Science project:
Created a recycling display for my school’s Earth Day fair in April
Helped my neighbors set up a compost bin in May
Led a group of 4-H’ers on a nature walk to talk about native plants in June
Wrote an article about water conservation for my school newsletter in August
If you know how much time it took, that information can be added as well. For example:
Gave a “Healthy Snacks” demonstration at my 4-H club meeting in February (2 hours)
For Seniors:
Make a list of every way you’ve shared your project knowledge or helped others in your project area since January. Write these out in bullet points and save a clean version for your portfolio.
For Juniors:
Write down at least three examples of how you have shared or helped in your project area. If you don’t have three yet, that’s ok. Make a plan for how you can add more before December, like giving a short demonstration or helping another 4-H’er.
Remember, it’s only September. You still have time to create more sharing and helping experiences before the year ends. Every time you teach, present, or lend a hand, you’re adding to your 4-H Portfolio. Keep it up!
