Combining Projects

Author: Joyce Doyle

Planning Unit: Carroll County CES

Major Program: 4-H Agriculture Core Curriculum AND Natural Resources

Plan of Work: Adult and Youth Leadership

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

I love how so many of our 4-H programs are learned and then expanded to other projects.  For instance, our goat club includes market, breeding and dairy goats.  At our dairy goat meeting, a volunteer came and demonstrated how to make soap out of goat milk.  The members got to milk a goat (which 75% had never done) and then witnessed how that milk was turned into goat milk soap.


Our wood science program has been so successful.   Two of my wood science members used their wood working skills to become entrepreneurs.  A young lady who won blue ribbon at the state fair with her wood working walking stick decided to sell them at the Kentucky Volunteer Forum as a vendor.

A young man made wood signs.  He began by making wood bowls but they kept splitting so he decided to go another route and make other wood items.  He sold out of all of his signs. It was his first time of selling and now he is working diligently to make other wood items to sell at our Fourth of July event here in Carroll County.
