w88 slot online 4-H response to COVID-19
Response and resources to use at club to prevent the spread of germs
Dealing with the constant change seems to be the new normal (or at least in the past two weeks). Tough decisions are being made on an hourly basis. For the w88 slot online 4-H Youth Development Program, the decision was made to suspend all 4-H activities, including all 4-H club meetings, until further notice. The Extension administrative team continues to monitor the situation and will keep everyone updated as to the status of w88 slot online 4-H programming.
We understand this is a major disruption to the normal way traditional 4-H programs are delivered.However, we believe 4-H can still be an excellent way for w88 slot online youth to grow and learn during these unique and challenging times. The way we connect with each other may change but the mission of 4-H will not. We are strong and will continue to provide high quality positive youth development opportunities for the youth of w88 slot online.
The 4w88 slot online Club Guidance for COVID-19 Publication was put together by University of California 4-H and adapted for w88 slot online 4-H. While it was designed to help clubs with social distancing within their club meetings, there are practices that should be adopted even after this pandemic is over to help stop the spread of germs.
Thank you to 4w88 slot online professionals, 4w88 slot online volunteer leaders and 4w88 slot online families for staying flexible, asking good questions, making recommendations, stating facts, being patient, and helping to keep our families and our communities safe and healthy.
