4-H Programming During COVID-19

Author: Katie Wallace

Planning Unit: Elliott County CES

Major Program: 4-H Youth Development Programming

Plan of Work: Youth development in and out of the classroom

Outcome: Initial Outcome

During the COVID-19 pandemic our 4-H programming has had make significant adjustments to meet the needs of youth in our county. To date we have given out over 150 grab and go bags featuring different activities for youth to do at home along with a healthy recipe and information related to hand washing, stress in youth, and other topics that are relevant to the situation we are living through. In addition to this 4-H livestock members have had the opportunity to receive their educational hours through educational packets about animal agriculture and by creating a demonstration related to their project. 

The outpouring of support for these projects has been incredible. The 4-H grab and go bags have been a hit. Our Elliott County 4-H Facebook page has become an even greater resource for communication with youth and their families.
