Cloverbuds

Cloverbuds is a chance to get youth involved in 4-H early, when they do not meet the minimum 4-H enrollment age of 8 years old.

• The emphasis is on participation, learning, and teamwork, not competition. They might learn about nutrition while helping to prepare simple snacks, plant seeds, and learn what to do to help them grow, or help with animal grooming and feeding (with supervision).
• Cloverbuds also provide opportunities for older youth to mentor and help a younger 4-H’er be successful, and start laying the groundwork for their future “career” as a 4-H member.
• With Cloverbuds, safety comes first, and all of the activities are developmentally appropriate for this age group.
