4-H Conference Delegates Identify Healthy People Helping Earth as the Wisconsin 4-H Service-Learning Focus
4-H delegates from across the state met at the Wisconsin State 4-H and Youth Conference to discuss what issues should be the focus of service learning in the state for the year. After discussing many topics that concern communities across Wisconsin, the youth decided to make healthy lifestyles and the health of our environment a priority. Clubs and counties are encouraged to start service projects by learning about and finding ways to address human and environmental health.
