Curbside Clover Outreach

Author: Dianna Reed

Planning Unit: Johnson County CES

Major Program: Health

Plan of Work: Youth Life Skills

Outcome: Initial Outcome

In March of 2020, the Johnson Cooperative Extension Service along with government officials, local leaders, school personnel and community members were challenged to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and offer ways to be of service to our communities and clientele. UK administration worked with state officials to develop guidelines, inform personnel of UK, gubernatorial and CDC directives, and encouraged counties to provide outreach and information to our clientele in a safe manner. To address this challenge, program councils, agents and office staff worked together to come up with viable ways for clientele to receive Extension 4-H programming. As a result the 4-H Agent and Program Assistant, following recommended COVID 19 guidelines, created and distributed in a curbside pickup, 80 Grab-N-Go bags covering several program curricula. From July 1 to September 26, 2020, Grab-N-Go Bag topics covered Fitness/Health and Sewing/Life Skills. Over 3,817 social media reaches were recorded, 207 engagements made and 80 Grab-N-Go bags distributed. The community continues to ask for these resources, and there are more programs being prepared to distribute in this manner.
