Ready to start researching your topic for fair mini-booths? Just wanting to meet with the 4-H staff about a community service project idea? Good news&#8211;After working from home since March, the 4-H staff are back at the office. We look forward to seeing your smiling faces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to COVID-19, we do have some new procedures in place for visiting the 4-H staff in their offices. First, you will need to <strong><em>call and set up an appointment<\/em><\/strong>. Appointments can be scheduled from 10 a.m. &#8211; Noon and 1 p.m. &#8211; 4 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. We recommend no more than two youth attend the same appointment time unless they are from the same household. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you arrive at the Extension Office,<strong><em> you will need to be screened by the 4-H staff prior to entering the 4-H area or staff offices<\/em><\/strong>. The intake screening process includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><em>A temperature check<\/em><\/strong> (Temperature must be under 100.4 degrees to participate in 4-H for that day.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><em>A screening form<\/em><\/strong> (This form will ask if you have exhibited any symptoms of COVID-19 or been in contact with anyone you know has COVID-19.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><em>Approval of screening form <\/em><\/strong>(The 4-H staff will make sure all your responses on the form meet screening requirements.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have completed the screening form, you may enter the building. Youth will be asked to remain in the 4-H area of the building so as not to be exposed to other clients who may enter the building. While at the Extension office, youth will also need to . . . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><em>Wear a cloth or disposable face mask<\/em><\/strong> (should cover mouth and nose)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><em>Participate in social distancing<\/em><\/strong> (youth will be encouraged to maintain distance between themselves and other 4-H&#8217;ers, as well as between themselves and Extension staff while in the office)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em><strong>Wash hands and sanitize frequently<\/strong><\/em> (hand sanitizer will be provided)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We understand that these things can sometimes be inconvenient, but they are required for participation in face-to-face 4-H activities at this time due to UGA policies and guidelines. Things may look a little different for a while,  but we are looking forward to finally seeing some of our 4-H&#8217;ers in person soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To set up an appointment with the 4-H staff, please call us at (912) 557-6724 and dial extension #4. We look forward to working with you soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you excited to get to work on your 4-H portfolio?
