Clover Kids
We've had some questions about the Clover Kids program that 4-H offers. Here's some info that might help...
To be eligible to enroll in 4-H, a youth must be at least in 3rd grade (and 8 years old). 4-H does offer a program opportunity called Clover Kids for kids in grades K-2nd. Clover Kids can learn about 4-H, develop skills and enjoy some fun learning experiences. Rather than Clover Kids just enrolling and attending club meetings, the Clover Kids program is intended to be an organized experience with age-appropriate activities facilitated by enrolled adult volunteers. A Clover Kids group can be formed within an existing 4-H club or as a separate group. I’ve seen them done both ways with success. Often times Clover Kids are younger siblings of 4-H members, so the club format works best in this situation. There is also no fee for Clover Kids to enroll whereas 4-H members pay a $25 ($20 until Oct. 31st) fee when they enroll in 4-H on 4-H Connect. Clover Kids can participate in club activities (when part of a 4-H club). Clover Kids can be gathered in a separate area during a portion of the 4-H club meeting in order to do an activity that is more age appropriate for them. We have many ideas and resources that can be utilized with Clover Kids. Clover Kids can also participate in our county 4-H contests such as 4-H Food Challenge, Food Show, Fashion Show, Photography, etc. They are simply recognized for their participation, they do not compete. I have also attached the page out of the current Texas 4-H Rules and Guidelines that outlines Clover Kids. This will provide more info about projects and activities for Clover Kids.

As of right now, we do not have any Clover Kids groups, but groups
can certainly be formed within a club or outside a club. There would need
to be 1-2 adult volunteers (enrolled on 4-H Connect) who provide leadership for
a Clover Kids group. If you are interested in organizing a Clover Kids group, please contact the Extension office.
