Woodworking

Overview

The Woodworking Program engages 4-H members in a variety of hands-on activities and experiences that foster an increased understanding and appreciation for woodworking. 

Kentucky 4-H believes that all youth should have opportunities for positive youth development in our four guiding concepts: mastery, belonging, independence, and generosity. This program fosters mastery by learning about and completing woodworking projects, belonging by interacting and connecting with adults and youth with similar interests, independence by practicing decision making skills and independent thinking, and generosity by participating in community service activities. Contact your county extension office for more information (link).
