Description

4-H Inclusion is an important concept for all youth programs, including 4-H Youth Development. We strive to include young people from all backgrounds, interests, and ability levels in programming that we offer. This Clover Call Podcast shares tips and suggestions to help volunteers and staff reach out to all children in the program to help them have a positive, educational opportunity. 4-H Educators Liz Beiersdorfer (Dearborn County), Kati Sweet (Hendricks County), and Adam Tyler (Fountain County) relate experiences they have had with including youth from all backgrounds and providing them with exceptional experiences.
