The Kingston Community Library and the Library Director serve as the "Club Leader."  Librarians will work directly with 4H to manage fiscal responsibilities and administer the program.

• We are seeking community "Project Leaders" to lead lessons a couple of times a year - 1-2 hours each lesson. Contact the Library Director for more information.

• Each project leader needs to go through training and background checks through UNH.

• Meetings (including lessons and challenges) will be held once a month for kids ages 5-18.

• 4H "challenges" provide structure to the program around themes related to the outdoors and the arts.  Children can earn badges by completing challenges. Some challenges will be completed at lessons each month. Others can be completed at home with families.

• In addition to older mentors, we propose to have children teach adults

  • Further strengthen relationships between mentors and mentees by switching the obvious role from one generation to another at several meetings during the year

  • Encourage dynamic interaction across generations

  • Develops young people’s confidence and older people's contact with younger generations

• We will work with 4H to develop additional challenges that make use of our unique grounds and setting.

• We will build information literacy units around challenges to deepen the Club's tie to our library mission.

  • Adults and children will be encouraged to find several facts using library resources to expand their hands on learning
