The following contains information about our Fall 2020 virtual club initiative in response to COVID-19. Some information may be subject to change. Read further below for more information and steps for registration prior to events. For more information about 4-H Clubs in general, please visit our 4-H Clubs page.

4-H Fall and Winter Programming flyer

Hello 4-H Families,

Over the past several weeks we’ve been exploring alternatives to monthly club meetings. COVID-19 has obviously made it impossible to have safe face-to-face meetings, and virtual programming comes with its own challenges. After discussing with leaders, we’ve prepared a rough schedule of events for bi-monthly virtual gatherings, ideally with hands-on activities that you can do at home with your families. Materials for activities may be purchased with the 4-H budget and can be picked up from your club leader or from the N.C. Cooperative Extension of Durham County office prior to the event.

The following is a rough outline of activities for the following months. Some of these may be subject to change depending on enrollment, interest, and availability. Dates and times will be finalized later for other events, but we’ll typically aim for two weeks between each activity, and attempt to hold activities on Wednesday or Thursday nights.

October 2020

October 15 – Citizenship with Kids Vote Durham

This session will be led by Durham Extension’s Kids Vote Durham program lead and youth volunteers to educate your youth on the importance of civic engagement. We’ll do a number of activities, including using the Kids Vote USA ballot to submit an early vote as soon as the polls open. We’ll also include the KVD voter guide, which helps educate elementary, middle, and high school kids about local, state, and national political campaigns and causes. If you’re interested in participating on October 15 at 6:30 p.m., please provide some basic information on the following Google Form.

If you missed our meeting, you can view a worksheet we completed on what engaged citizens feel, think, do, and say. Visit KVD’s website to find voter guides for all ages, including guides for Instagram, and weekly activities building up to the election. To see results visit this link for Durham County 4-H Results or Durham County Kids Vote results.
