Searchable Database of Extension COVID-19 Resources Now Available - The COVID-19 resource hub located at https://virtual.extension.org/extension-responses-to-covid-19 is being converted to a searchable database that will allow users to easily locate COVID-19 resources on a particular topic such as farmworker health or coping with income loss. The new database resides on the Extension Disaster Education Network (EDEN) COVID-19 resource page located at https://extensiondisaster.net/current-situation-covid-19 Once at the site, a "filter" option allows a user to narrow the resource collection to a particular subject, audience, or institution. A “sort" option allows a user to display resources in a particular order. The links to each institution’s COVID-19 resource hubs will remain at https://virtual.extension.org/extension-responses-to-covid-19 for the immediate future.
4-H at Home – Mitigating Learning Loss for Children - In order to address the opportunities for school children impacted by school closures associated with COVID-19, 4-H programs around the country are contributing to 4-H at Home, a consumer-facing compilation of virtual positive youth development programming for families. This resource is designed to promote the important role of the land-grant universities and Cooperative Extension—and to mitigate the substantial learning loss that has occurred and could continue over the summer. Please consider directing State 4-H Program Specialists and Leaders to submit content/links at https://bit.ly/4-HatHome. Thank you.
