After School Foods club

Author: Sherri Farley

Planning Unit: Campbell County CES

Major Program: 4-H Youth Development Programming

Plan of Work: Youth Nutrition, Fitness and Healthy Lifestyles

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

As part of a need expressed by an elementary school in the county, an after school 4-H foods club was implemented over a 4 week period. 16 youth, 5 female, 11 male, signed up for the club. The 4-H program has a strong partnership with this elementary school, i.e. school clubs, after school program, involvement on the FRC advisory council.  The target audience was grades 3rd through 5th.  A teacher at the school volunteered her time to stay and help with the club each session. 

Using recipes from the SNAP-ED recipe list, the youth learned how to make Fruit parfaits, fruit sushi, fruit smoothies, and competed in a Cookie Decorating competition for the final session.  They received SNAP-ED items and a recipe book to take home. They were also given 4-H enrollment forms and other 4-H information about day camps. 

100% of the youth learned & demonstrated how to properly wash their hands, 100% of the youth learned how to properly use a knife, and 100% learned how to make Fruit sushi. 3 of the youth tried mango and pineapple for the first time.
