Cloverbuds -  Introductory 4-H Program

The Cloverbud program is a noncompetitive program designed for boys and girls ages 5-7 (grades K-2). It is planned to provide "learning by doing" experiences for participants in-and out-of-school, and in informal group situations. Cloverbuds develop new interests and gain new experiences as they participate in a program designed to provide them opportunities to learn to get along with others and build self-confidence.

Participants receive a member's book to record things they discover about themselves and a Cloverbud button. Volunteers, youth and parents select lessons of interest to the members to use in meetings.
