Marathon County 4-H is thrilled to announce that local 4-H member Laurel Loucks has been selected to join the National 4-H Clover Content Crew — an elite group of approximately 20 youth leaders from across the United States. Laurel is the only youth from Wisconsin chosen for this prestigious opportunity.

The Clover Content Crew is a new initiative from the National 4-H Council designed to elevate youth voice and leadership in digital storytelling. As part of this program, Laurel will participate in monthly virtual sessions focused on social media strategy, digital communication, and content creation. The experience includes engaging guest speakers, collaborative discussions, and hands-on opportunities to create content for National 4-H Council’s official platforms.

Through this role, Laurel will build advanced media and communication skills, connect with 4-H peers nationwide, and represent Wisconsin 4-H on a national stage.

We are incredibly proud of Laurel for earning this honor and showcasing the leadership, creativity, and dedication of Marathon County 4-H youth. Congratulations, Laurel!
