Lexington, Ky., - While COVID-19 has altered the traditional 4-H international program, Kentucky 4-H is still finding ways to educate young people about different nations and cultures. Â
âWe are really implementing the idea that you do not have to travel to have a global mindset, and we are focusing on helping youth develop cultural competencies from home,â said Rachel Noble, 4-H youth development specialist and Kentucky 4-H International Program coordinator in the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. Â
