Wisconsin State 4-H News and Statewide Programing
Learn Together. Lead Together.
Think about “leadership.” What words come to mind? It probably depends on your experiences with leadership. If you have been a leader or if you’ve always been led. If you’ve had good leaders or not.
In 4-H, the most successful leaders—both youth and adults—understand this:
Learn together. Lead together.
That’s why this is the new slogan for the year-long learning event about youth-adult partnerships. We all have a lot to learn, and when we work together, we can lead the way.
This newsletter is loaded with leadership and leadership opportunities. Check it out!

Youth can help lead the way in creating connection. One way is by leading fun activities during meetings, whether online or in-person. Read the article to find tips and loads of ideas for connection games and activities.
