MONROE - The 4-H Junior Leaders group is a group of older 4-H members who learn independence through decision-making as well as getting to try new things. They work to master new skills, leadership roles and responsibilities that can be used in future careers.

The group meets from 7 to 8:30 p.m. the last Monday of each month at the UW-Extension in Monroe. New members in sixth grade and up are welcome to join. The club presently is represented by five of the 18 Green County 4-H clubs; one of its goals is to have representation from every club this year.

The group holds one fundraiser a year, which is the Dairy Bar food stand at the Green County Fair. The group also uses the food bar as its major community service project. The group works to provide a large but low-cost variety of food to feed not only 4-H families but also those attending the fair for the entire week of the fair.

Anyone interested in joining the group may contact Ellen Andrews at the UW-Extension office at 608-328-9440.
