Since 2016-2017 reintegration of 4-H Club Work, within the Bath County School Districts, successes in various programming has seen growth. In 2016-2017 over 500 youth participate in a least one school club setting. By the end of 2019-2020 program year, close to 800 youth were enrolled in some type of school club delivery. 23 School Clubs ranging from 4th through 7th Grades were delivered, during 2019-2020.
The current program year focused more on delivering educational lessons associated with what teachers are currently teaching. Lessons from 6 of the 7 4-H Core Curriculum were introduced, at least once, during a Club Meeting. Teachers have reported the 4-H lessons strengthen or introduce students to content that is key to mastery. The hands approach to understanding allows most youth to achieve one the learning styles, that may not or on a limited basis, within the classroom. Some skills developed or worked on through club work: Goal Setting, Teamwork, Decision Making, Keeping Records, Communication, Sharing, Leadership, and much more.
