Cloverbud Newsletter

This newsletter was developed in response to requests from 4-H volunteers for more information and support in working with Cloverbud members. It is published quarterly and provides a unique blend of education, activities, and fun to build and challenge Cloverbud volunteers as they lead kindergarten through second grade youth. Illinois links to this site since we encourage Cloverbud groups to use the Ohio State University curriculum Series 1 and 2 with their groups.
