There is a lot of confusing information out there about COVID-19 also known as the Coronavirus. Let me assure you that Hamilton County 4-H is doing its best to address the diverse needs of our population while also working to limit exposure and ensure the welfare of our must vulnerable citizens.
The plan is simple, 4-H is holding trainings and meetings virtually or postponing them until April 20th. Our club advisors have been briefed on ways to engage youth digitally and will receive updated resources on how to do that regularly.
Additionally, we have been developing an activity resource page for families and youth looking for things to do while we are dealing with these restrictions. While our “4-H Explorer Guide” is a work in progress we welcome you to check out these independent and engaging activities or share links to your own projects, ideas and starters that we can post.
A few key things to remember- be vigilant about washing your hands, if you feel sick- stay home, stay calm and continue to learn.
Yours Truly,
Tony Staubach
Extension Educator, 4-H Youth Development

Donate: Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Nancy and Colonel David Bull, we can enhance the impact of the 4-H program for generations of youth to come through the establishment of an endowment to be used exclusively for 4-H programming in Hamilton County. Nancy and David Bull have a deep sense of the community of philanthropy. They would like to leverage their gift of $50,000, half the amount needed to fund the $100,000 endowment, as a challenge gift to other donors who are interested in establishing support of Hamilton County 4-H. Their gift will match dollar-for- dollar to the first $50,000 raised to establish the Hamilton County 4-H Endowment. To donate click here. |
