4-H has so many great opportunities available, and it is hard to know about them all. We don’t want our members to miss out! New families can expect to meet other new families, have questions answered, and learn about various topics such as projects, general meetings, 4-H Structure, and different opportunities.

We are also seeking volunteers to help facilitate stations during the New Family Orientation. If you or someone in your club would be interested, please sign up at go.wisc.edu/v16984
