Clayton County 4-H Project Achievement

What is Project Achievement?

Project Achievement, also known as PA (Project Achievement) or DPA (District Project Achievement), is a public speaking competition for 4th-12th grade 4-H’ers. Project Achievement serves to showcase 4-H’ers work and success. 4-H’ers give an oral presentation related to the topic of interest. 4-H’ers may also compete in oral presentations, performing arts (instruments, vocal, general), and consumer judging.?
