CloverBuds
Cloverbuds are 4-H members who have reached the age of 5 and enrolled in kindergarten as of January 1 of the current year. When a child is at least age 8 and enrolled in 3rd grade as of January 1 of the current year, the child is eligible for 4-H club membership.
Cloverbuds focus their attention on activity-based lessons and non-competitive activities. Cloverbuds are not eligible for out-of-county activities, competitive events, residential camps, and/or projects designed for 4-H club program members. Cloverbuds are not to hold offices (they can lead the pledges).
The Cloverbud program is developmentally-age appropriate. It promotes non-competitive, leader directed and activity based learning experiences. There are many fun, positive, and group-centered learning activities which allow all children to be successful.
The Cloverbud program objectives include developing:
- self-understanding skills (self-esteem)
- social interation skills (getting along with others)
- decision making skills
- learning skills (learn how to learn)
- mastering physical skills
