Success StoryProject kits were a huge success



Project kits were a huge success

Author: Paula Jerrell

Planning Unit: Ballard County CES

Major Program: 4-H Youth Development Programming

Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work

Outcome: Initial Outcome

During the COVID-19 situation of spring and summer of 2020, Ballard County 4-H provided 1149 project kits in the core curriculum categories.  Eighty related to communications, 101 related to  agriculture, 224 health related,117 family and consumer science,124 natural resources, 144 science, engineering and technology, 342 in expressive arts, and 30 in leadership. We reached at least 75 different families and many of them multiple times.  We also reached some new minority families with these efforts.  Ballard County focused mostly on items that could be entered in the fair in the summer.  One more round of project kits will be done at the end of June, first of July that are fair related.  Hopefully entries in the fair will reflect those efforts.
