Achievement Application
Sounds intimidating doesn't it? It's really not that difficult - you have all the info - just type it up and add some photos...
It is basically a summary of your 4-H and community activities- you choose which area you did the most in (Ag, STEM, Leadership, Healthy Living) - compile the information by following the guide found at https://4h.unl.edu/achievement-application and submit to our office by 5pm on November 1. Awards will be given at the County and State Level in Junior and Senior Divisions.
Some submissions are 1 page long, some of you will easily fill the 3 page limit! We can't wait to read about what you've learned and accomplished in your 4-H year.
Diamond Clover Program
There is a simple form that you use to record your activities and write a little bit about them. Complete one level each year.
Submit the completed form to our office by 5pm on November 1.
Each 4-Her completing a Clover Level will receive the appropriate Clover Pin at the Achievement Celebration.

- Interested in becoming a 4-H judge? One easy way to get started is by completing our judge registration process. While not required, this process gets your name added to our statewide judge list which is supplied to county 4-H programs, faculty, and staff looking to hire new judges for their county fairs, contests, and shows. But you must complete the judge registration process by September 30th to be added to our statewide judge list for the 2022 program year. Get started at 4h.unl.edu/judges.
