Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Like many counties, Hopkins County 4-H had been severely impacted by the lasting impacts of Covid-19. Youth participants along with adult volunteers had decreased. In order to pick numbers back up we knew we had to do something. On August 16th we held a 4-H Kickoff event. The goal of the event was to promote all of our clubs, attract new youth, and gain new volunteers. In order to entice the community to come, we had free T-shirts, free hotdogs, an ice cream truck, and three inflatables for kids to play on. In the span of two hours we saw over 200 people and many who which were new! As a result of this event we have saw a large increase in number of youth attending clubs and we have added three adults to our 4-H Council. Overall, the event was a huge success and will now become an annual event.
