Countywide Events & Activities
Countywide 4-H events and activities are open to all approved Waukesha County 4-H members.
Project Nights
4-H Project Nights are designed to increase youth participation and provide opportunities to explore their Sparks (interests). They are held multiple times each fall and spring. Sessions are available for K-13th grade, and parent involvement and engagement are encouraged!
During Project Nights, several sessions with a variety of topics happen concurrently during the first (earlier) and second (later) sessions. Previous Project Nights have included: ceramics, jewelry, photography, puppet making, pinewood derby, leathermaking, electricity, food & nutrition, model rocketry, STEAM, woodworking, quilting, and more!
Contact Sara at (262) 548-7774 or stomjanovich@wisc.edu. with any questions about Project Nights.
We are always seeking NEW project leaders, community partners, co-collaborators, or Jr. Project Leaders to get involved and lead new sessions. If you are interested in leading an activity or project at a Waukesha County 4-H Project Night, contact James Boling at james.boling@wisc.edu.
