NC 4-H Learning Labs (FREE) – offered through NC State University
This learning lab was created as a way to keep 4-H experiential learning going despite the disruptions that coronavirus (COVID-19) is causing for 4-H programs and school programs. The learning labs will provide youth an opportunity to actively engage in discussion boards, upload photos and videos, and ask lots of questions. New activities are added each week on Mondays.
The lab is separated into 4-H age categories:
- Cloverbud Corner (Ages 5-8)
- Junior JukeJoint (Ages 9-13)
- Senior Seminars (Ages 14-19)
You do not need to be a 4-H member to participate in the lab. If you are not a 4-H member and would like to become one, then please contact your local county 4-H agent (Chatham County 4-H Agent, Victoria Brewer) for more details on membership! Register online
