Calumet County Youth in Governance Programs

  • Four youth who attended Winter Leadership Camp transformed the county's 30+ years old 4-H Dance. Adults refused to move to a location without alcohol, afraid that they would lose money at their silent auction held during the dance. The youth found a location where the bar is separate from the dance floor. The result was a safe, fun event, free from alcohol and smoke. The Leaders Council made nearly $400 more from their silent auction than in the previous year. The Calumet County 4-H Leaders Council has passed a motion to have the youth leaders continue to be in charge of the 4-H Dance.
  • Youth Center Without Walls program has provided four activities for 7-8 grade youth so far this year. Four high School youth plan, implement, and evaluate the program under the guidance of an adult college intern.
