What
does the 4-H Youth Development Program offer in Trempealeau County?
 The positive development of our young people is our highest
priority; the most effective way to accomplish this is through
our 4-H Community Clubs where the resources and educational programs
of the University of Wisconsin are made available to Trempealeau
County families. Major programming centers around:
- Encouraging the positive development of 4-H youth
- Encouraging
environmental awareness and appreciation for all youth in
the
County through 7th and 8th Grade Environmental Days
Highlights of current efforts include:
- Strengthening 4-H Community Clubs to provide a strong
sense of belonging and community for youth and their families
- Working with Project Leaders through problem-solving
and project workshops to best utilize the educational resources
and programs of the University of Wisconsin Department of
Youth Development
- Providing opportunities for youth to develop leadership
skills 1) by serving as members and officers on the Trempealeau
County 4-H Leaders’ Board and 2) by attending one of
nine club officer training sessions offered each year
- Strengthening the 4-H Leaders’ Association
by developing the teaching and leadership skills of adult volunteers
- Offering four New Leader Orientations annually to
help adult volunteers contribute more effectively to the 4-H
Program
- Working closely with our nine County schools and
thirteen environmental educators to present an effective annual
7th Grade
Environmental Day
- Working closely with our nine County schools and personnel
at Lock and Dam #6, the Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge
and Perrot State Park to educate annually our County’s
8th Graders about the impact these three unique County locations
exert upon our environment
- Working closely with the Trempealeau County Agricultural
Society to assure an annual County Fair that adequately showcases
the efforts of our County’s youth.
