The word “team” means different things to different people. When they hear the word, some people immediately think of a sports team, like the two that played in this the most recent Super Bowl, or a favorite college or high school football or basketball team. Others think of an academic team at school, like the debate team or the school’s chess team. And still others may think of a business or company’s, office team or project team.

The important thing to remember about any team is what it stands for: “Together, Each Accomplishes More!”

Teams are all around us, whether or not we actually call them a “team.” You and your family members are really a type of team, because each individual member works with and helps the other family members create a safe, happy, and rewarding home life. As you and your friends at school or in 4-H work together on an assignment or project, you are really forming a team, with each individual contributing to the group’s overall goal.

In a previous module, you learned what a team is and how one forms and develops over time. Now, let’s explore the important, unique role that each individual can play as a team (like a TRY-IT! Team) begins to work toward a common goal.
