Youth from the age of 5-8 have so much spirit and enthusiasm.  Cloverbuds program is a way to help develop the young students through hands on activities which promote healthy life skills (social, mental, physical and emotional).  This program allows the students to experience at a young age, "learn by doing".  Cloverbuds group meets once a month, with students experiencing hands on lessons and activities that express the life lessons in 4-H and what it has to offer to our youth.  The Cloverbuds group consisted of 10 participants who experienced hands on activities.  The goal with this program is to develop a positive self esteem, develop good learning skills and motor skills.  Parents attend the program to assist their young and help with making the meeting flow.  These Cloverbuds are our future and it is in hopes to get them involved at an early age and become involved in 4-H until the age 18.
