Abstract:
4-H advancement programs consist of a series of steps that provide a framework for progressive learning within a specific project area. Advancement programs encourage 4-H members to learn at their own speed based on their interests and abilities. Advancement programs are self-paced, and age- and skill-level appropriate. Advancement programs can
also be a tremendous help to members as they set their goals each year. In addition, advancement programs are useful to Junior Leaders and more
experienced 4-H members who wish to work with younger or less experienced members.
