Plan of Work: Life Skill Development
Outcome: Initial Outcome
The Warren County 4-H program is alive and thriving! At the 4-H Kick-off Night held in late August, participation doubled from the previous 2 years with 540 students and parents attending. Participants were able to get up to date information on all of the clubs and projects offered in the Warren County 4-H Program. Club leaders set up booths promoting their clubs, goody bags with club information were handed out, and participants could grab a light supper of hotdogs, popcorn, cookies and drinks. Every 4th-8th grade student in the Warren County and Bowling Green school system received a promotional flyer inviting them to the Kick-off Night. Since the inception of the 4-H Kick-off Night, our club membership and number of clubs offered has steadily increased. In the 2019-2020 program year, club membership increased by 50 members and number of clubs increased by four. To date, the Warren County 4-H program has 476 members participating in 25 clubs run by 45 club leaders.
