Outcome: Initial Outcome
COVID-19 changed the manner in which Extension staff served communities. In an effort to continue to provide educational programming and promote family engagement, the Clinton County Cooperative Extension Service provided weekly grab and go Extension at Home Kits filled with educational activities that were available for pick up on the porch of the office. A total of 750 kits were distributed from March-June. Extension at Home Kits provided hands-on learning activities for youth and adults and included content from all program areas. Comments from Qualtrics survey results and social media included: “We have learned how to make bread, how to budget, and make cleaning stuff. We love the bags, thanks for doing them.”; “We’ve learned cooking skills, measuring, following instructions, working together, and nature. Getting our bag is the highlight of our week.”; and “Thank you all for all that you do! We have thoroughly enjoyed all the activities included in the kits!”. Extension staff in Clinton County and throughout the state will continue to adapt educational programming while prioritizing the health and safety of the communities we serve.
