The 4-H Youth Leaders organization welcomes all 4-H members
to become involved in their group if they are ages 12 and over.
Youth may get involved any time of the year and to any level.
The group meets the second Monday of the month at 7 p.m. at the
UW-Extension Conference Rooms in the Normal Building, Phillips.
Annual planning of community service, recreational activities
and educational opportunities is done in the fall. Youth leaders
are active in planning and arranging activities for their own
group with advisement from volunteers and the 4-H Agent.
Older 4-H members have a large portion of cost of activities
underwritten by funds the group has raised. The primary fundraiser
is the 4-H Youth Leaders Dairy Bar operation at the Price County
Fair. All older youth are urged to contribute time to this effort.
Younger brothers and sisters can sign up to help as well.
If a club has no one actively involved in 4-H Youth Leaders
they may designate a contact person who would receive mailings
from the organization. For meeting highlights and notices of
trips and activities youth should read the Cloverbud newsletter.
Youth Leaders may earn leadership points in the organization
or be credited for leadership at the club level. A special award
trip is taken by youth biannually based on accumulation of these
points. Outstanding youth leaders are named annually at 4-H Achievement
Day based on points accumulated in a given year.
4-H Youth Leader activities have included:
- Valley Fair Trip
- Noah's Ark Trip
- Petting Zoo at Dairy Breakfast
- Downhill Ski Trip
- 4-H Promotions
- Hosting Summer Library Program, Day Camp and
more!
Point Based Trips:
- Boundary Waters Canoe Trip
- Whitewater Rafting
- Hot Air Ballooning
Those who qualify determine what the trip
will be.
