Author: Ryan Spicer

Planning Unit: Breathitt County CES

Major Program: Family and Consumer Science

Plan of Work: Active Living and Health Promotions

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

According to UNICEF, at least 1.6 billion children have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic across the world. During this time it is important that children are provided with activities that meet their needs, and help them to maintain a healthy lifestyle at home. To ensure these needs are provided for during the Covid-19 pandemic the Breathitt County 4-H agent created 4-H on the go project bags. These front porch pickup, biweekly bags, provided youth with various activities, recipes, and other educational materials to stay happy and healthy at home. The program had great success in Breathitt County and was able to reach 50-60 youth every other week from the months of March to December. The agent plans to continue to offer similar programming during the Covid-19 pandemic, and after the pandemic due to its great success in the county.
