Press release submitted by University of Illinois Extension. MOLINE -- 4-H is the youth development program of University of Illinois Extension. Youth at Ericsson School in Moline have been attending a special interest 4-H club for the past six weeks. Special interest clubs are designed to give young people information about a particular subject. These individuals participate in a 4-H special-interest group that studies just that subject -- for example, a group that studies nutrition, model rocketry, or childcare. The clubs run by University of Illinois Extension EFNEP staff have a sole focus on nutrition. A group consists of five or more members, who meet six or more times, and who follow a predetermined educational program. Exhibit opportunities give the 4-H members a chance to showcase their knowledge through their projects and conference judging. On Dec. 7, youth from Ericsson School will gather at 335 5th Ave., Moline to showcase their 4-H knowledge and experiences. 4-H'ers will exhibit Cooking 101 Nutrition Projects beginning at 3 p.m. The community is welcome to attend. Rock Island County serves over 20,000 youth and adult residents each year. Rock Island County Extension provides programming in areas such as: 4-H Youth Development, Agriculture and Natural Resources, Home Horticulture, Nutrition and Health, Home and Money Matters, and Community Improvement.
