4-H on Base4-H was out with the JBER Two Rivers Youth Center recently for an "Upcycle" workshop: they turned pop tops into something wearable!
It was a great opportunity for kids on base to meet up AND get in on the Maker Movement. The Maker Movement challenges us to look at the items all around and re-purpose or re-invent them! If you're a family on base that would like more information about Youth Center activities, follow the link below! |

2013 Pillow Patrol |
Every year, members of the community come together to participate in the 4-H sponsored Pillow Patrol at the Anchorage Extension Office. Visitors create pillowcases out of donated fabric and the finished products are given to local youth in the foster care system. Pillowcases create a colorful place to lay your head and make handy bags for storing personal belongings. These kids are able to choose their favorite colors and designs from the hundreds of pillowcases that volunteers create for them. Join us on Saturday, Jan. 18th for the 2014 Pillow Patrol! |
