HOME ENVIRONMENT PROJECT
Acquire a knowledge of principles and materials necessary to make the home more attractive, convenient and comfortable within the family's resources.

Make things for your own room such as rugs, wastepaper baskets, bulletin boards, etc. Make a list of things that would improve the rooms in the house.

Decide what you and your family will do each year. We encourage the 4-H'ers to work with other family members in making their home improvements. Just keep a records of what member does and what other family members do.
