On the April 2022 4-H Clover Call, Kathleen Bohde, Hamilton County 4-H Youth Development Educator, talks with two recipients of the 2021 Youth Engaged in Service (YES!) grants awarded by the Indiana 4-H Foundation. Funds of up to $10,000 are available. 16 grants were awarded in 2021! Kathleen also talks with Shelly Bingle, 4-H Foundation Executive Director about the 4-H Foundation and the YES grants.
Mackensi’s project is providing sustainable agility equipment to enhance the Dog Park in Morgan County that is open to all families, allowing the youth and their families to bond with each other and their dogs.
Alice’s project through the Lost Arts 4-H Club is providing resources to support veterans and their families (through the Helping Veterans And Families Association), including tie blankets and homemade crocheted scarves.
During the podcast, Mackensi and Alice describe each of their projects, developing their vision for the service learning project, building support for the projects, and overcoming challenges realized along the way. They also share the impact that their projects have had to date and their future plans to continue to build this impact. Shelly provides an overview of the Indiana 4-H Foundation and the YES grant opportunities that are available.
