National 4-H Week, celebrated from October 6-12, honors the impact of 4-H programs that have shaped youth leaders for over 100 years. In Wisconsin, the tradition continues as youth develop essential life skills through hands-on learning. Angie Ulness, Manitowoc County Dairy Youth Specialist and 4-H alum, shares her 4-H journey and its lasting influence.

"I joined 4-H as soon as I was old enough," Ulness recalls. "Our family was active in the Maplewood Beavers 4-H club. From dairy projects to leadership roles, 4-H shaped my path."

Today, 4-H goes beyond traditional projects like animal care and extends to STEM, leadership, and community service opportunities. Ulness notes, "In Manitowoc County, we have clubs focusing on robotics and mechanics. There’s something for every interest, whether it’s animal projects or technology."
