About
Ozaukee County 4-H and Youth Development includes activities such as archery, shotgun, Legos, robotics, photography, arts, shooting sports, and projects with small and large animals. The program also offers activities in arts and communication, science, technology, engineering and math, outdoor education focused on natural sciences, plant and soil sciences, family, home, and health, and cultural projects. Ozaukee County 4-H involves youth in project-based education and “learn by doing,” with hands-on projects led by 4-H leaders who create learning partnerships with youth.

Ozaukee County 4-H is an informal, educational organization for youth in grades 3–13, and most clubs offer a Cloverbud program for youth in 5K–grade 2. All youth in 5K through grade 13 are eligible to join 4-H, and new members may join throughout the year. Most 4-H youth and the adults who care about them get their start with a 4-H club, and clubs can meet in a variety of settings so youth can be supported where they are in the community. Cloverbud Day Camps are for youth who are a minimum of 5 years old and in K5–2nd grades. The Ozaukee County 4-H Harbinger newsletter is published monthly and shares news about Ozaukee County 4-H and some regional and state 4-H opportunities, and the Ozaukee County 4-H Calendar lists countywide activities, projects, and meeting dates.
The four H’s are Head, Heart, Hands, and Health, and the program states that this means a commitment to life skills like decision-making, problem-solving, caring for others, generosity, making healthy choices, and more. The 4-H program is the youth development program of the University of Wisconsin Extension and is guided by faculty and staff members from the University of Wisconsin Division of Extension. The Ozaukee County 4-H program receives educational support and coordination through the UW-Madison Division of Extension Ozaukee County Office, and Extension Ozaukee County provides resources and education in Agriculture, Community Development, and 4-H and Youth Development. The leadership team includes Pattie Carroll as Area Extension Director, Abi Quinlan as Ozaukee County 4-H Program Educator / 4-H Educator, Paul Roback as Community Development Educator, and Manuel Peña as Regional Dairy Educator.
4-H started in the early 1900s. The 4-H program is the largest youth organization in Wisconsin with 150,000 youth members and 30,000 adult volunteers, and it is the nation’s largest youth development organization with more than six million members and over 90,000 clubs. About 80% of 4-H members live in cities, villages, or in rural non-farm homes, and it is not required to have animals or live on a farm to be a 4-H member or leader. Ozaukee County 4-H youth helped shape and carry out the 2026 4-H Summer Camp experience, including Base Camp and Adventure Camp tracks, by stepping into leadership roles.
