Wisconsin 4-H Adult Leader Council

The Wisconsin 4-H Adult Leader Council (ALC) includes an adult representative from each county. The purpose of the council is to enhance UW-Extension 4-H Youth Development programs at the state, county and local level. The Council provides a statewide forum for 4-H Youth Development adult leaders that offers:

  • Issue awareness and discussion;
  • Education on new opportunities;
  • Topic/interest sharing between counties;
  • Opportunities for volunteers to be involved in planning and evaluating specific statewide programs; serve on state committees; and as chaperones for state and national programs.

The Fall Forum is the annual meeting of the Wisconsin 4-H Adult Leader Council. This meeting is held in partnership with the Wisconsin 4-H Youth Leader Council.
