Future of 4-H looks bright for Washington County 4-H

The future of Washington County 4-H looks bright as an active group of third-grade Clover Kids celebrated their graduation during the 2019 Washington County Fair. This fall, they are all invited to join the Washington County 4-H program as fourth-graders. Eighteen third-graders participated in the graduation ceremony where they received a special diploma and cap. Each graduate was announced by their Clover Kid club leader. This year, 36 third-graders participated in the Washington County Clover Kid program and will have the opportunity to join as 4-H members in the fall with the start of the new year.

Clover Kids are youth in grades Kindergarten through third-grade who traditionally meet once a month with their club to play games, experiment, craft, and explore in non-competitive ways. Washington County has eight Clover Kids clubs with more than 160 active members this past year.
