4-H LOCAL CLUBS AND RELATED INFORMATION
4-H began in
the early 1900s. The first groups were called Boys and
Girls Clubs. Then in 1914, Congress passed an act that
established Cooperative Extension and 4-H. 4-H is available
to families in Iowa County because of an agreement between
Cooperative Extension of the University of Wisconsin-Extension,
the Extension Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
and the Iowa County Board of Supervisors. The local sponsor
of the 4-H program is the Iowa County 4-H Leaders Association.
4-H is an educational
youth organization that belongs to the members, their families,
and other interested adults who serve as volunteer leaders. Professional
leadership is provided by faculty and staff of the University
of Wisconsin-Extension.
The purpose
of the 4-H program is to provide learning opportunities for
youth, volunteers and parents that assist them in developing
appropriate and essential life skills, such as decision making,
relating to others, communicating with others, and developing
self esteem. 4-H members
belong to clubs in their local communities which meet once
a month.
Select a 4-H club to join. Listed below
are the clubs in Iowa County grouped by location. Youth
may join any club in the county.
