With the COVID-19: Corona Virus pandemic closing all public schools and universities in South Carolina, 4-H Agents of Clemson Cooperative Extension were left without clients to serve. The Midlands 4-H Region Agents couldn’t stand to sit around and wait for a solution to how to serve the children of SC, so they came up with "4-H @ Home," a daily email with an activity that is fun and educational that also introduces 4-H. The program announcement was worded, “Are you scrambling to fill the day while schools are closed? Don't worry, we are here to help! 4-H @ Home is a daily activity delivered via e-mail. Topics include: Animals and Agriculture, Healthy Lifestyles, Civic Engagement and Leadership, Natural Resources, and STEM. This project is open to youth in any county. Sign up below to begin receiving weekday e-mails until schools re-open. Take care and wash your hands!” Little did the Midlands agents know their program would go viral! As of the latest update, the program had 1,708 participants registered from all 46 counties in SC, 24 additional states, plus children in Mexico, Canada, and South Africa! These numbers continue to increase daily! All lessons are developed by SC 4-H Agents (and a few other program area agents) from around the state in multiple program areas to help give children something to do while practicing social distancing. The lessons are geared to being able to utilize materials from around the home, so parents do not have to go out to purchase materials. Photo submissions are entered into a weekly drawing for SC 4-H prize packs.
