Outcome: Initial Outcome
During the COVID-19 pandemic it has become increasingly important to reach our youth audiences. Youth have lost many opportunities to stay busy creating difficult situations for their mental and physical health. Nicholas County 4-H created an opportunity for youth to still be active 4-H members at home though diversified projects they can complete. Each week we prepared a project kit that is eligible to be entered in the county or state fair and could be safely picked up at the extension office and completed at home. Projects are relatively simple and can be completed by all ages within the 4-H program age groups. We had 95 total project kits picked up. Social media posts have shown youth enjoying the projects and completing them. Positive feed back was received from parents who were thankful that there is something for them to keep their children busy and active. Each project involved one of the seven core content areas within the 4-H curriculum as well as teaches different skills working toward mastery.
