Vernon County Youth in Governance Programs

  • Five Vernon County youth serve on Kickapoo School Board committees in 2004, including budget, policy, building/grounds/transportation and post-graduate survey. The students attend regular board meetings where they may participate in public discussion, but not in board debate.
  • Youth ambassadors initiated and organized a Super Saturday event to promote outdoor education in partnership with the DNR. 125 youth and 80 adults attended this youth-led event, up from 18 at the previous event.
  • 4-H Leader Parent Federation has 10 youth representative positions, with full voting privileges on the board.
  • Extension trains youth volunteers for the Teen Court program.
