Many youth were without access to fun educational activities during Covid. Our Extension Office offered 1,149 educational kits from our 7 core content areas for youth to pick up outside our office.We had a tremendous response from those kits. Several families became more involved in extension as a result of this effort. Just recently a mom approached me and said, " I don't know what we would have done without your kits during Covid.  We have some art supplies we would like to donate to the Cloverbud Club because that was our daughter's age group during Covid." She gave us two bags of quality art supplies to be used by our Cloverbud members. Our audience for kits were families with school age youth.  We were able to reach minorities and low income families by having the kits available in the center of the county at our office for no fee.

Another success is that a former camper on scholarship, now goes to 4-H camp as a counselor and each year offers a scholarship for someone. That person is now serving on our Ballard County 4-H Council as well.
