Last, but not least…
One of the most valuable lessons you will learn throughout your 4-H career is how to set
goals. You will utilize this skill throughout your entire education and carry it with you into all
your future endeavors.
When setting your goals, ask yourself these questions….
What do I want to learn or do?
Where do I want this project to take me in the future?
When am I going to do it?
Who will help me?
There are 3 Parts of a Goal:
1. Action: How will you reach your goal?
2. Result: What will you accomplish?
3. Timetable: When are you going to do it?
Check your Goal:
1. Does it have 3 parts?
2. Do you have control over it?
3. Is it measurable?
Examples of good 4-H goals:
Project Action Result Timetable
Beef I will train my 4-H steer to lead before the Fair.
Photography I will learn how to use my new camera
before our family vacation.
Food & Nutrition I will make a nutritious snack at my club’s May meeting.
The purpose of human life is to serve and to show compassion and the will to help others.
--Albert Schweitzer
