This is an opportunity for the youngest 4-H members to explore the world of 4-H with a focus on fun activities. Project meetings will focus around skill builders which could include various things, such as, What is 4-H?, large or small animals, agriculture, science, arts & crafts, engineering and more! The intent of this project is to introduce six to eight years old to the 4-H program and for their family, as a whole, to develop an understanding of the program and all that it has to offer!

Disclaimer:

1. Not all 4-H Clubs accept Cloverbud members, please check with a 4-H Specialist.
