Outcome: Initial Outcome
The Johnson County Extension Council and 4-H Program Council identified Leadership and Citizenship as program priorities for the 4-H Youth Development program. To support that directive, the 4-H Youth Development agent worked with the local 4-H Clover Cafe Teen Club and their Leader to support efforts for West KY Tornado Relief. The Teens decided to purchase wooden toys, construct and paint them. They also wanted to purchase and fill backpacks with other goodies, toys and activity resources to support young people affected by this natural disaster. Our youth and adults worked together to support peers in need and understood the importance of giving to others. In December 2021, contact was made with State-Level UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment administrators on how to accomplish the effort of distribution to affected youth. As a result of the club's efforts, these backpacks and several tote containers were added to the UK CAFE state coordinated backpack effort, and delivered to Lexington for distribution in Western KY.
