Pike 4-H Programming Continues Despite the Pandemic
The Pike County Extension Council identified life skills as a need for Pike County. During the Pandemic, we have served our clientele through 6,000 plus kits. From art to woodworking, we gave out life skill teaching kits for youth and their parents.
Once the vaccine have been administered, we have been invited into the schools during March for 4-H clubs in 50% of the former classroom clubs. To date, we have 2,000 youth registered for 4-H Club membership.
As one teacher commented, “4-H is essential; our youth need 4-H.” Ruby Smith Hall recommends Pike County 4-H: "The 4-H club is a wonderful club for our children. It’s developed not only for all ages but for various levels of development and various interests. Projects are made for education and fun. I truly believe that we have the best Extension Directors and Organization Members in the World." 4-H is making best better through teaching life skills and preparing our youth for the work force.
