Dear 4-H community


As concern about the novel coronavirus grows, Michigan State University Extension remains focused on the health and wellbeing of its participants, volunteers and employees. With their wellbeing in mind, MSU Extension is asking all staff and volunteers to not participate in group settings. This applies to our Michigan 4-H volunteers and youth, as well. In this regard, please postpone or cancel in-person 4-H meetings and activities scheduled between now and April 20. If those meetings can be moved to an online format such as Zoom or Skype, please connect with your local MSU Extension staff members for assistance. This communication differs from the message you received last week but as we continue to monitor this very fluid situation, this is a necessary modification. We will continue to communicate updates, as needed.
Although our face-to-face programs and events will not take place, MSU Extension will continue to serve individuals. To support parents and caregivers with children at home, MSU Extension has assembled a collection of helpful educational resources. From science to financial literacy, whether for toddlers or teenagers, members of the 4-H community can take advantage of these activity books, guides and other resources to help children remain engaged in educational experiences throughout their school break.
Browse the site by age and topic area to find an activity or lesson that is perfect for your young person. Please check back often as MSU Extension staff are working quickly to offer new and creative virtual learning experiences and add additional resources to this space.
If you need information to support your youth-focused efforts, you may also be interested in the following educational resources:
-  Talking to your child about the coronavirus
-  Ways 4-H volunteers can support youth when not in person
-  Managing stress and anxiety
MSU Extension also recently launched the Remote Learning and Resources online space, a one-stop-shop for our digital offerings and educational materials related to the current circumstances. We hope this expanded offering on a variety of subjects will also be useful to you.
We appreciate your support and understanding of efforts to protect ourselves and our communities. If you have any specific questions or concerns regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact county 4-H program coordinator, Insa Raymond (517) 439-9301.
