<p> TRANSITIONING CLOVER KIDS INTO THE COMMUNITY CLUB PROGRAM</p><p>Clover Kid Leaders have an outstanding impact on their group members and we want to keep that impact going by helping the Clover Kids transition into the Community Club 4-H program. Here are some ideas that might help:</p><p> Have your Clover Kid Club visit a community club in the area.  Join a community club on their project tour or plan a special summer outing with them. This would give your members a chance to interact in a fun, informal way with the older 4-H’ers.  Co-sponsor a special "4-H Clover Kid Graduation Ceremony" with the local community club that your members could join in the fall.  Set up Clover Kids with an older 4-H member to be his/her Clover-Buddy. These buddies could help Clover Kids get to know others in the community club during the excitement of the fair.  Setting up a Clover-Buddy system now with a community club, will also help “Clover-buddies” mentor the new members during their first year of community club.  Ask the local Extension Office to add your Clover Kids graduates to the 4-H Community Club Newsletter mailing list now so that they will receive the first newsletter of the 4-H year and will become familiar with the opportunities available to them.  Take your Clover Kid group to the fair and show them the large variety of things they can explore when they join a community club.  Ask community club members (the Youth Council would be a great place to get volunteers!) to help out with your club meetings.  Have a 4-H Clover visible at every meeting so the Clover Kids “get” that they are 4-H members now.  Wear 4-H T-shirts for the same reason.  Celebrate National 4-H Week in October  Take part in any 4-H events you can during the fair.  Have community club members be co-leaders for a clover kid group  Have Club members give tours to clover Kids during the fair  Let Clover Kids bring non-judged items to display at the fair and give them participation ribbons.</p>
