The Ohio Cloverbud Program is for youth who are:
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.
Cloverbuds are children who explore areas of healthy lifestyle, earth / environment, citizenship, plants and animals, consumerism and Family Science, science and technology, personal development, and community expressive arts.
The primary goal of the Cloverbud program is to promote confidence through the healthy development of social skills, decision-making abilities, knowledge, and physical skills.

The Cloverbud program is developmentally age appropiate, therefore, it is:
- Fun
- Leader Directed
- Activity Based
- Non-Competitive
- Success Oriented
