We are looking for Youth to join the committee; however, volunteers are also welcome to join the committee too! The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 15 from 4:30-6:00 pm Virtually on Zoom. Youth will discuss and plan out the following: T-shirts, having an opening reception, having a traveling exhibit among the 3 counties, and putting together a Cloverbud art project. 

The theme picked is Local Inspiration - Be inspired by the places where you live, work, and play. This could be a location, town, city, park, school, home, and other local places.

4-H Thriving Model Survey

This fall, Wisconsin 4-H will be inviting members (ages 13-18) to complete a survey about their 4-H experience. The survey will help Wisconsin 4-H to learn about the quality of our programs.
