AZ 4-H COVID-19 Response

All 4-H Programming in Arizona is suspended until August 1st*.

*The reinstatement of programs will be reassessed prior to August 1.

The leadership of the Arizona 4-H program is monitoring the Coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) situation. Decisions regarding COVID-19 with implications for Extension operations will be made at the county level. For further updated information please refer to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website. Arizona Cooperative Extension and Arizona 4-H will follow all programmatic decisions put forth by University of Arizona Provost, Liesl Folks. UArizona specific updates can be found here.

Arizona 4-H and the University of Arizona have an obligation to protect the youth and communities that they serve using the best research-based information available. Social distancing is needed to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

All 4-H sponsored in-person programming is cancelled effective immediately until July 1st, when further evaluation will take place. This is an evolving situation and we will continue to keep you updated. We recognize this is a major disruption to your normal life experience. While many traditional events may be cancelled, we do want 4-H to be an excellent way to grow and learn. Check out activities for Arizona 4-H at-home learning

Please check back regularly as this is a developing situation and in the coming days, weeks, and months we will know more about the local implications of COVID-19.
