4-H Council Stays Strong through Covid

Author: Rhonda Jewell

Planning Unit: Caldwell County CES

Major Program: Leadership

Plan of Work: Develop Individuals for Volunteer and Leadership Roles

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Covid has been hard on many Extension programs, including county councils. When the Covid pandemic hit in March of 2020 it changed the way we work, shop, educate our children and many other aspects of our daily lives.  Extension programs were halted, put on hold, or held virtually until the summer of 2021.  The Caldwell County 4-H Council stayed strong throughout the Covid Pandemic, thanks to the support of county leadership.  The County 4-H Council typically meets six times a year, in January, March, May, July, September, and November and never missed a beat due to the pandemic.   Meetings were held virtually via Zoom initially and as time allowed a hybrid approach was taken.  Even with the awkwardness and technical difficulties encountered with Zoom meetings, the average attendance of county 4-H council meetings was 84%.  The council has functioned as well as it could and has even hosted some of their major fundraisers.
