All Jefferson County 4-H members third grade and older are eligible and encouraged to participate in this countrywide special recognition program.
The Clover Award Program is designed to recognize 4-H members for their active participation in club and county activities and events. By participating in activities and events, members can earn points towards recognition steps.
4-H members may take more than one year to earn a Clover Award before starting to earn the next Clover Award. This means you may take 13-14 months or more to finish before starting the next “Step” in the current 4-H year.
You may earn a point for an activity or an event only once. An activity or an event cannot be repeated on the application. You cannot carry over points (or activities) to the next “Step”. The 4-H year is October 1 to September 30.
The program has five recognition steps with each having minimum requirements for completion. A Clover Award certificate and frame will be given to those earning their Green Award. Award seals will be given upon completion of each step, and upon completing their Emerald Award members will receive a $50.00 honorarium. The recognition steps include:
Step #1 Green Clover Award 25 points (minimum 18 club level, 2 county)
Step #2 Bronze Clover Award 29 points (minimum 18 club level, 3 county)
Step #3 Silver Clover Award 31 points (minimum 18 club level, 4 county)
Step #4 Gold Clover Award 32 points (minimum 18 club level, 5 county)
Step #5 Emerald Clover Award 35 points (minimum 18 club level, 6 county)
