Making a Difference

Nothing, no one, is too small to matter. What you do is going to make a difference.
~ Madeleine L'Engle

A Small Act Can Make a Big Difference

We will be teaming up with the Sacramento Tree Foundation's annual Acorn Harvest this October. Because although we are little sprouts, we will grow big and strong, from a tiny acorn to a mighty oak tree. Even the tiniest efforts can make a big difference.

Project Goals

Welcome to the Cloverbud project! The idea behind cloverbuds this year is to encourage creativity and play. Cloverbuds is for primary members age 5 to age 8. The program brings members, parents, and volunteers together to have fun and learn to work together in meetings, activities, and special events. Parents are encouraged to become involved.

Wider Scope

The 4-H Cloverbud program is an informal educational experience through which parents, other interested adults, and youth help young people develop confidence, social skills, decision-making abilities, subject matter knowledge, and physical skills. The program allows for and encourages creativity and play. It is an excellent opportunity for children to reach their fullest potential because early life experiences, even subtle ones, affect future development.

Typically, 4-H Cloverbud children explore these subject areas: healthy lifestyle, environmental and earth science, citizenship and civic education, plants and animals, consumerism and family science, science and technology, personal development, and community and expressive arts.

The 4-H Cloverbud program is developmentally age-appropriate for youth age 5 and in kindergarten to age 8 and in the third grade. Children are involved in noncompetitive group activities, rather than individual projects. In doing so, the children learn life skills, which include getting along with others and feeling good about themselves.

The program brings members, parents, and volunteers together to have fun and learn to work together in meetings, activities, and special events. Parents are encouraged to become involved. Children can be involved in 4-H Cloverbuds in a variety of settings that include the following: 4-H clubs, classroom settings, after-school programs, camps, and day camps.
