4-H Youth Development
Welcome to Chippewa County 4-H!
4-H is a youth development program that equips young people across America with essential skills in leadership, citizenship, and life readiness. Since its first club was founded in 1915, Chippewa County 4-H has offered youth the opportunity to grow through hands-on learning, leadership development, and community involvement.
As part of Wisconsin 4-H and the nation’s largest youth organization, Chippewa County 4-H connects local youth to opportunities in hands-on learning, community service, and personal growth. Through clubs, camps, and after-school programs, members explore their passions and develop skills like problem-solving, decision-making, and healthy living.
4-H is grounded in the four H’s: Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. Project-based learning helps youth dive into interests—whether in science, the arts, or community service—through “learn by doing” experiences. Most youth begin their 4-H journey in local clubs, gaining experiences in leadership and teamwork while making a positive impact. 4-H is for YOUth. Here, youth are heard, empowered, and inspired to lead.
