During the COVID 19 pandemic, schools went to online learning, offices closed, and businesses shut down. With everyone being quarantined at home, the Owsley County Extension Office used this opportunity to reach clientele in a new and different way.  From this, Extension on the go bags were created.  Extension on the go bags varied each time on content that was included.  Each bag included an educational lesson/information, hands-on activity and nutrition information.  Items included in each bag varied from week to week and focused on a specific topic each time. 

Extension on the go bags has been a great marketing tool for the Owsley County Extension Office.  We have reached previous clientele as well as new clientele for future programming.  Qualtrics survey results showed that as a result of Extension on the go bags 100% of participants learned a new tip or skill, 100% of participants are making healthy lifestyle choices, 100% of families are engaging in more quality time together, and 83% of youth participants enhanced their non-traditional instruction experience (while out of school during the pandemic).  A total of 775 bags have been distributed to youth and families since the beginning of the pandemic.
