The Cloverbud project is specific to children in grades Kindergarten (5 year olds) through 2nd grade. The difference between a Cloverbud activity and a 4-H Project area is that the member engages in a variety of activities with a focus on developing a specific skill or concept, rather than focusing on a long-term course of studying a specific area.
The Cloverbud program is developmentally-age appropriate, and thus it is:
- group-centered
- noncompetitive
- leader-directed
- activity based
- fun and positive
- all are successful
