4-H & Senior Special Boxes

Author: Tracie Goodman

Planning Unit: McCreary County CES

Major Program: Communications and Expressive Arts

Plan of Work: Youth Development

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

During the COVID-19 pandemic, McCreary County Extension assembled three Holiday boxes (4-H Camp Box, 4-H Fall Box, and 4-H & Senior Christmas Box) and correlating social media videos for all 4-H age kids in McCreary County. These boxes contained a variety of projects and materials which championed at-home learning for youth, adults, and families to help during the crisis. Our projects have highlighted programs and lessons from 4-H, Agriculture, and Family & Consumer Sciences including: woodworking, STEM, healthy moving, making healthy choices relating to snacks and recipes, holiday activities, natural resources, expressive arts, family and consumer sciences, leadership, and communications. These boxes were a collaboration with the ANR/4-H Agent, SNAP-Ed program assistant, 4-H program assistant, and staff assistant. Inside the boxes, community members found instructions and materials to complete the lessons/projects. Along with the lessons, we included informative publications and self-created videos, and supplemental items to go along if appropriate. There were 410 special boxes given out during 2020.
