4-H Club Officer and Youth Leader Training Resources

  • Youth Leaders and Officers - Club Officers are a special leadership opportunity. The following publications are important training materials.
  • Southern District Leadership Team - SDLT began in 1999. Its purpose is to bring Wisconsin 4-H youth in grades 8-12 from across the Southern District together to provide opportunities for older members to identify 4-H needs in the district and practice leadership skills. Through SDLT, with support from a team of 4-H agent advisors, youth identified issues and needs common to most counties in the district. The 4-H members participating in SDLT then developed the following teaching materials related to the needs identified. The teaching plans have been successfully used by youth and adult presenters in a variety of workshop sessions.
