LaCrosse County Youth in Governance Programs

  • The Youth Commission is a network of youth involving four youth from each of the nine schools within the county that addresses youth issues. In 2009, the 4-H & Youth Development Agent was involved in helping the Advocacy Committee deal with a couple of projects. The Youth Commissioners worked the advocacy committee and local media to host a “Plunge” event on teen alcohol and drug use/abuse. This was a traveling event where participants immersed themselves in AODA issues such as visit to the Emergency room, site of a traffic accident, a cemetery visit, a treatment center, etc. The youth commissioners are also working with schools to try and get uniform behavior codes for extracurricular activities.
