Wisconsin 4-H Youth Leader Council (YLC)
The
purpose of the Wisconsin 4-H Youth Leader Council (YLC) is to strengthen
4-H Youth Development programs by addressing youth issues, promotion
4-H, providing leadership at the Wisconsin 4-H and Youth Conference
and communicating needs between local and state needs.
Members of the Council represent geographical districts throughout
Wisconsin. New members need to complete an application and are selected
by present YLC members and youth delegates to Fall Forum. Council
members must have completed 8th grade and not exceeded the completion
of 11th grade of the calendar year during which their term begins.
Council members serve a 2-year term.
YLC members meet three times a year: 4-H and Youth Conference,
Fall Forum, and a Spring Retreat. Besides their role with the 4-H
and Youth Conference and connection for input into youth issues,
YLC members are active with the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation, Wisconsin
State Fair Youth Exhibits Committee, 2007 North Central Volunteer
Leader Forum Steering Committee, and other statewide committees
and events.
