Clover Kids

What is Clover Kids?

Clover Kids is a program for youth in Kindergarten through 3rd grade. The program is designed to empower children to reach their full potential through child-centered and research-based experiences. 

Clover Kids participate in hands-on activities to investigate science, technology, engineering, math, art, communication and literacy, all while having fun with friends!

Clover kids events and meeting information is listed below, or check out Iowa 4-H for more information!
