International Club Exposes Youth to Global Possibilities

Our world is increasingly coming closer to rural community's back porch.  Families have experienced this with shortages of products that unbeknown to us are actually imported from around the world.  Kentucky's rural hometowns are products of a global society.  4-H seeks to expose our youth to these often "hidden" connections and increase their awareness of how to be successful in this interconnected world through our International 4-H Club.  

The club is open to Green County youth who are interested in learning more about countries around the world.  There is no cost for the youth to participate.  Each month, a different country is explored with discussions about that country's contributions to society, cooking a local favorite dish and experiencing life as a youth.
