Eau Claire County Youth in Governance Programs

  • Facing a budget threat from the county board, one young alumnus and two youth members joined by one adult leader, one alumnus parent and an elementary school principal presented county board members with information regarding contributions made by 4-Hers to the community and the unique benefits of 4-H to the individuals, families and the communities of the county.
  • By going through the Public Adventures process, the 4th and 5th grade students identified a community project which they felt met a local need, developed, and with adult help, carried out a plan which resulted in a public bench and area which memorialize a resident who had been a friend, mentor and advocate for the youth of the community.
