4-H projects are the core to a 4-H member's experience. The Wood County Clover Legacy Foundation is happy to support numerous projects, although without the project book, from capitol campaigns to yearly grants that benefit youth in Wood County and beyond through the 4-H program. Below is a summary of some of the projects while others can be read about in our annual reports. The Clover Legacy Foundation is also responsible for envisioning and acting upon future endeavors that fit our mission. If you have a project in mind, please contact us.
When youth join a 4-H club they learn and live the 4-H pledge, which includes: “I pledge my hands to larger service…for my community, my country, and my world.” The Hands to Larger Service Day is where hundreds of Wood County 4-H members, their families and the general public fulfill that commitment to community service.
