Youth Development

Youth Development

Extension’s Positive Youth Development Institute empowers Wisconsin youth, and the communities who support them, to thrive. To fulfill this promise, we place youth leadership, in partnership with supportive adults, 4-H clubs, and community organizations, at the center of our work.

Priority Areas

Experiential Learning

Our Experiential Learning programs use the interests and curiosities of today’s youth (Sparks) to foster and support educational opportunities for youth.

Youth Empowerment

Our Youth Empowerment programs empower young people to use their voice while working in partnership with adults to positively impact their communities.

College & Career Readiness

Our Career and College Readiness programs assist youth in transitioning from adolescence to adulthood with the necessary abilities, skills, and mindsets to navigate life’s opportunities and challenges.
