Cloverbud Program

Last modified 2008-02-01 11:58

The Ohio Cloverbud Program is for youth age 5 and in Kindergarten as of January 1 until they reach age 8 and are in third grade. Cloverbuds do not participate in regular 4-H projects and evaluations; instead, they participate in non-competitive activities that are specifically designed for their age level.

The goal of the Cloverbud program is to promote confidence through the healthy development of social skills, decision-making abilities, knowledge, and physical skills.

Children explore areas of:

  • Animals
  • Citizenship
  • Expressive Arts
  • Family
  • Plants
  • Healthy Lifestyles
  • Personal Development
  • Science & Technology
  • Earth and Environment
 

Get your child involved in a fun program geared toward creativity & play!
