4-H Kickoff 2023/24

Author: John (Connor) Cooper

Planning Unit: Hopkins County CES

Major Program: Leadership

Plan of Work: Enhancing Leadership, Volunteerism, and Public Policy Awareness

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Like many counties, Hopkins County 4-H has been severely impacted by the lasting impacts of Covid-19. Starting in 22/23 to combat this issues we developed a 4-H kickoff event. Since the first one was successful, we decided to do it again this year. On August 17th 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 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 adults to our 4-H Council.
