4-H Virtual Learning
As a result of COVID-19, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Yates County and the Yates County 4-H Program has suspended in-person workshops and gatherings until further notice. As we’re all adapting to learning and working from home, we’ve developed this platform, in addition to our Yates County 4-H Facebook page, to share information and resources with our families. Please reach out to us (jja26@cornell.edu) if there is information you’re in need of or resources/topics you’d like to see shared. Stay well and enjoy our virtual programming opportunities. We look forward to seeing you in person, in the future!
