For 2021 the "Growing Clovers", a 4-H club for Clover Kids, is open to all youth who turn 6, 7 or 8 during the calendar year and enrolled in 4-H. Clover Kids in Platte County have their own opportunity to have their projects interview judged at the Platte County Fair. The Platte County Clover Kid Curriculum Guide (updated November 2020) reviews the projects and resources available.
Cooperation between schools and Nebraska Extension has existed for 40 year in Platte County, complementing the educational goals of both organizations. The materials used in 4-H are based on research and produced by specialists from the University of Nebraska, National 4-H Council and various universities and organizations throughout the United States. 4-H School Enrichment resources include teacher guides, student manuals, multi-media tools, teaching kits and staff presentations. For 2020 and 2021 school years, School Enrichment looks a little different.
