4-H Youth Development
The 4-H Youth Development program creates opportunities and supportive environments for youth and adults to become capable, competent and caring citizens. The emphasis is on "hands-on" learning that focuses on the youth's area of interest. Programs are conducted with the help of parents, adult volunteer leaders and professional staff who organize educational experiences. Youth participate in organized 4-H clubs, special interest and project groups, 4-H school enrichment programs, 4-H camp and other special activities.
Important Information - Office Closed to In-Person Visits
Updated 6/1/2020:
Continuing with recommendations from the University of Kentucky, our office will continue current operations through the month of June. Staff are taking turns working from the office and working remotely. We will not be holding any regularly scheduled meetings in June, regardless of the size of the group. Our front doors will remain locked, but we are open and working to provide service. You may reach all of our staff by phone or email. You may continue to drop off soil/plant/insect samples. You may continue to drop off and pick-up items or publications when arranged. Our staff is currently working on how to allow groups back into the building while following all CDC recommendations and the guidelines set forth by Governor Beshear. If you are a group leader, we will be reaching out in late June or early July to discuss how we can resume activities. This is going to be a process, so we ask for your continued patience as we work through these unprecedented times.
