The Year 2022 is looking brighter for many 4-H youth across Henry County.  Youth are ready to return to 4-H Clubs and begin projects that have been pushed to the side for the last year and half.  Twelve of the 4-H Clubs have started meeting in person again while social distancing and using creative ways to work within the safety guidelines outlined by the University of Kentucky.  Next month 3 more clubs will take the plunge into meeting face to face and providing youth with much needed time with friends and participating in hands on learning.   Youth just want things to feel “more normal” and 4-H is providing that sense of belonging in a place that many have come to for years.  4-H is their home away from home where they know they are going to be heard and cared for by adults who have their best interest at heart.  Of course, most of the youth don’t realize that is what 4-H has been doing for over a hundred years.  We are here in the good times and the difficult times helping youth learn to navigate life.
