Plan of Work: Healthy Lifestyles

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Programs for youth 5-8 years of age. The Union County 4-H Cloverbuds Club was developed to encourage youth to become involved with 4-H throughout the ages of 9-18.  The 4-H Youth Development programs are designed to provide youth with the opportunity to make new friends, and develop new skills.  4-H programs give youth a sense of belonging by creating positive learning experiences to explore their personal spark. 

Youth from the ages 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 to learn activities that express the life lessons in 4-H and what it has to offer to our youth.  The Cloverbuds group consisted of 25 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.
