Cloverbuds

4-H CLOVERBUDS is a unique program that helps build confident kids. Specially designed for youngsters ages five through seven, the program gets cloverbud kids excited about learning.

4-H CLOVERBUDS uses hands-on-learning activities to help kids explore art, plants and animals, science, and the environment. Youngsters also engage in group activities that promote personal development, healthy lifestyles, and a sense of citizenship.

As a cloverbud member, your child will attend fun-filled meetings that include a learning activity, recreation period and snack time. A trained cloverbud volunteer leads the meetings with help from parents.

Cloverbuds can help youngsters develop these critical life skills:

  • Develop self understanding and confidence in a relaxed setting.
  • Achieve success in learning and feel a positive sense of accomplishment.
  • Learn how to get along with others and communicate in positive ways.
  • Make new friends.
  • Learn how to share, work together, compromise, and resolve conflict.

The curriculum is based on sound child development principles and factual subject matter information.
