Planning Unit: Anderson County CES
Major Program: 4-H Family and Consumer Science Core Curriculum
Plan of Work: Healthy Lifestyle Choices
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Anderson County Clover Chefs was planned, implemented and evaluated by the Cooperative Extension Service. It is an after school cooking club. The club meets once per month and at each meeting the participants prepared one or two recipes and received a nutrition lesson. Due to the age of the participants, it was required that an adult assistant accompany the child to the workshop. Within days of the club being advertised, there were thirty four youth registered. Before the end of the program year there were an additional seventeen on the waiting list.
During the last meeting a survey was distributed to the members and their parents. Of those completed, 85% of the youth plan to participate in this program again next year, or the regular 4-H cooking club if they have aged out of this program. Additionally, 89% of the participants reported this as their first experience with 4-H and 95% of those plan to now participate in other 4-H programs. In the last section of the survey, all participants reported increasing the number of times they wash their hands before meals and all reported an increase in the amount of time they spend cooking at home.
