What is Fall Forum?

• Fall Forum is an opportunity for learning and networking for youth and adult volunteers.
• Sessions are interactive and provide practical ideas to use within a club, school, or community program.  
• Youth and adults learn together!
• All participants will take great resources and inspiration home with them.
• This year’s forum offers over 25 educational workshops and over 12 different interactive learning stations.
• Tim Talen will provide an exciting address for delegates (and we guarantee there will be towel chickens involved!)

Fall Forum is planned by the Wisconsin 4-H Leadership Council and county staff.  The workshops and activities are led by teams of youth and adult volunteer leaders, county staff, and state specialists.  

Youth and adults interested in applying for the Wisconsin 4-H Leadership Council need to complete an application and submit it before October 1st.  Both youth and adult applicants need a recommendation from the county 4-H Youth Development staff member. Applications and deadlines will be posted soon on the Wisconsin 4-H Leadership Council web page.
