Clover Connections
Redwood County 4-H
Clover Connections is open to all interested 4-H members and families. This new opportunity is geared toward helping members gain mentorship and support as they master the world of 4-H. Clover Connections will explore 4-H projects, help members know what to expect by answering the "what's next" and "how and where do I find" questions.
Each in person networking meeting will feature a hands on project experience, a question and answer session, and a hear from a 4-H member opportunity. We will follow the 4-H year to help guide members in their own 4-H experience.
