Each year, youth and adult volunteers and leaders from every chartered 4-H club and group are encouraged to participate in Annual Leader Training. The training topic changes each year to focus on subjects of importance to the whole Wisconsin 4-H community. In 2021, the area of focus is Learning Together, Leading Together: Youth-Adult Partnerships. Two sessions will be held – see below for additional information. Videos and other resources will be shared here as they become available. Youth and adult volunteers: reach out to your local educator/office for connection information and options.
