Building the Future One Meeting at a Time

Author: David Gabbard

Planning Unit: Lincoln County CES

Major Program: Communications and Expressive Arts

Plan of Work: Empowering Youth

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Around the beginning of August, the Owen County 4-H Youth Development agent received a phone call from a parent wanting to get their child involved in Cloverbuds, while talking to the parent they mentioned volunteering, so as we do, we went through the approval process for the volunteers, and in October we started Cloverbuds in Owen County. Since having a couple years without this the Owen County 4-H agent and the volunteers were skeptical on how it would go, but after advertising on social media the program reached capacity in 48 hours. Fast forward to now, meeting the third Thursday of every month Cloverbuds has around 16 active members, where these youth are learning by doing. They have learned the 4-H pledge and have made crafts like the puppet below to talk about themselves. This is a new but extremely strong group, and the Owen County 4-H Programs future is growing stronger every meeting this group has.
