Cloverly Greetings!
We are thrilled to share the latest updates from the Extension’s Positive Youth Development Institute! Our mission is to prepare the youth of today to become the effective, empathetic adults of tomorrow. Through our research-based youth enrichment programs, we are building the capacity and partnerships that help both youth and adults grow together.
Programs like the Youth Leadership opportuninites are at the forefront of this effort, fostering exploration and learning about our great state. Our 4-H clubs, camps, and afterschool programs provide young people with hands-on experiences that help them develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
Looking ahead, we are excited to introduce a new program focused on career pathways, designed to guide youth towards their future professions. Additionally, our Cloverbud program has been a tremendous success, and we are delighted to offer it again in February.
Thank you for your continued support in helping us nurture the leaders of tomorrow.
Warm regards,
Jordan Blue
Chippewa County 4-H Program Educator
