At Wisconsin 4-H, we’re on a mission to empower youth by helping them become healthy, productive, and engaged for their future. We know that 4-H programs help develop important life and career skills, and this work is needed and important. Today’s young people face unprecedented challenges: more than 53 percent of Gen Z kids report chronic loneliness and more than 50 percent feel like they’re failing at life goals. With academic performance declining and a growing mental health crisis, the stakes have never been higher.
How your gift makes an impact
Your donation partners with Wisconsin 4-H to help young people become “Beyond Ready” for life as young adults. Your generosity will help create access to regional and national events that bring youth together, create partnerships across the state to increase learning opportunities, and support the work of volunteers and staff to reach as many youths as possible.
The research-backed approach of 4-H shows that youth develop responsibility, resilience, social competence, and leadership through programs focusing on belonging, relationships, and youths’ interests (sparks). The 4-H priority of “Beyond Ready” aims to equip young people with future-ready skills.
But we can’t do it alone. It takes the generosity and partnership of many. By supporting Wisconsin 4-H, you’re investing in a generation equipped to adapt, lead, and thrive no matter what the future holds. Your gift of any size creates a lasting impact by expanding programs, removing financial barriers, and building paths to life and work success for today’s young people.
