Mark your calendars for September if you want to sign up your kids for 4-H this year. Youth organizations across the country like 4-H have seen dips in their enrollment due to the pandemic and other factors. As clubs have been able to return to more in-person activities, so too has the numbers and the enthusiasm. Kewaunee County 4-H boasts 13 clubs while Door County has seven clubs as it serves hundreds of youth across the region. Jill Jorgensen from Kewaunee County 4-H says the pandemic taught her how great their volunteers are and how flexible they can be with their education efforts.

Jorgensen recommends reaching out to different clubs to see which one is right for your family.

Registration for 4-H begins in September. For those looking for a more hands-on introduction to 4-H, Kewaunee County 4-H is planning to have their Open House event on October 9th from 1-3 p.m.
