Farewell 4-H Families (for the last time)!

By the time you get this 4-H newsletter my

office will be empty. It has been a pleasure to

serve you over the last 7 ½ years. Things have

come full circle for me — I was a 4-H member

in Brown County, a 4-H Leader in Oconto

County and a 4-H Youth Development Educator in

Marinette County. Thanks for the friendships and all who

made me feel so welcome in Marinette County. Building

a sense of belonging is one of the things 4-H families do

so well.

How do we make new members, families (and new

educators) feel welcome in our clubs and projects? Here

are 3 things you can do to involve the whole club in

making new people feel welcome:

• Be a source of information — joining 4-H can

seem overwhelming for new families. They may

not know where to get information. The online

enrollment system can seem intimidating. Offer

help in getting enrolled, share the 4-H website and

other resources. Assign a mentor to help new

families with questions.

• Create a positive welcoming first impression —

make meetings fun and welcoming by greeting

people as they come through the doors,

introducing everyone and playing

get-to-know-you games.

• Encourage involvement — get new families

involved right away! Remind members about club

and county experiences and trips, help them sign

up for projects and inform them about

county-wide project meetings, ask them to share

a skill or talent with the club by giving a

demonstration, teaching a project, or joining a

committee.

The more welcome a new member or family feels, the

more likely they are to continue in 4-H. Everyone's

involvement makes a difference!

4-H Rocks!

WELCOME NEW 4-H LEADERS ASSOCIATION

BOARD MEMBERS!

During our 4-H Achievement & Recognition Event on

Dec. 2nd, the 4-H Leaders Association held elections for

President, Secretary and Youth Reps. Please join me in

welcoming our new secretary, Teia Lea, and Lisa Witak

who was re-elected to serve as President. Youth

Representatives are Alexis Witak and Sierra O'Mary.

Terms are for two years. They will join Vice President,

Anne Biernasz, and Treasurer, Wendy Nelson. Best of

luck to this amazing group of board members as they help

shape Marinette County 4-H!

4-H VOLUNTEERS WATCH YOUR EMAIL FOR

BACKGROUND CHECKS TO BE DONE BY GIS

Every four years, 4-H leaders need to undergo a

background check in order to continue their volunteer role

with UW-Extension. Emails will be sent to those leaders

who are due this year. Please check your in-box for an e-

mail from GIS (General Information Services). GIS is the

company contracted by the state to conduct background

checks. The e-mail will come from GIS, Angela Schultz,

CBC Coordinator for UW-Extension. Please complete the

information needed within five days of receiving the

email. If you have trouble with the process, contact the

4-H Office for help.

smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest

compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which

has the potential to turn a life around."

This month, take advantage of all the opportunities you

have to make a difference in the lives of young people

around you.

4-H COUNTY COMMITTEES AND SPECIAL

PROJECTS

We need more volunteers (youth and adult) for all of our

Committees. A reminder that you need to sign up for

committees each year. Committee sign-up has been

extended to February 15. If interested in volunteering,

please see the sign-up sheet on the last page of this

newsletter.

LIABILITY INSURANCE

Marinette County has a liability insurance policy for

volunteers. Leaders are covered under this policy if they

are enrolled as a 4-H Leader and they have completed the

Youth Protection Training. This insurance is not accident

insurance. Accident insurance can be purchased for

specific events to supplement health insurance. Please call

the 4-H Office to verify insurance coverage for activities

that could be considered "out of the ordinary" and might

increase risk. As a 4-H leader, it is important to reduce

liability risks as much as possible. Be sure to provide

safety instruction in all risk situations and take precautions

to assure safe activities.

EXPAND YOUR WORLD BY HOSTING AN

INTERNATIONAL FRIEND

Wisconsin 4-H promotes intercultural awareness and

understanding and challenges youth and families to

become better global citizens by providing opportunities

to establish close relationships with people from different

cultures through international home-stay and hosting

experiences.

Month-long outbound and hosting opportunities are

available through Wisconsin 4-H and our partnering

organizations in Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Costa Rica,

Argentina, Finland, and Norway, as well as opportunities

to host year-long high school students from Japan, South

Korea, Mexico, or Eastern Europe. International learning

MAQA TRAINING REPLACED WITH YQCA

Wisconsin has replaced the MAQA (Meat Animal Quality

Assurance) program with the Youth for the Quality Care

of Animals (YQCA) national program. This new and

interactive program provides youth options for annual

quality assurance certification. Exhibitors of the

following species in Marinette County must complete

Youth for the Quality Care of Animals (YQCA)

national program: beef, dairy, dairy goat(s), meat goat(s),

poultry, rabbit, sheep and swine and poultry in order to be

eligible to sell in the 2018 Marinette County Youth Fair.

In addition, it will be required for those who intend to

show beef, sheep, swine, goats, dairy, poultry and rabbits

at the 2018 Wisconsin State Fair.

The YQCA training will provide a common framework for

food animal quality assurance programs which will

strengthen the youth educational experience, improve the

care of food animals, and promote a higher level of

consumer food safety. In addition, youth will learn about

other species of animals; not just the species they show.

Each year, youth will complete one new module in each

the following categories: Animal Welfare (basic needs,

proper animal handling, biosecurity, etc.), Food Safety

(medications, medicated feeds, withdrawal times, avoiding

residue, etc.), and Character Education (ethics, goal

setting, career exploration, etc.).

The YQCA program was peer-reviewed for content and

age appropriateness. It is supported by Wisconsin 4-H and

FFA leaders. Youth for the Quality Care of Animals

training content and modules will demonstrate a

progression of topic knowledge in designated age

categories (age as of January 1):

! Junior (8-11 years old)

! Intermediate (12-14 years old)

! Senior (15-18 years old)

! Young Adult (19-21years old)

The new YQCA training is an effort to provide flexibility

to accommodate busy seasonal schedules while providing

relevant age-specific food animal quality assurance

training. Youth exhibitors will complete three interactive

online modules and quizzes which can be accessed

according to your schedule. In Wisconsin, face-to-face

trainings may be offered in specific counties for juniors

February, 2018 Newsletter Page 7

HORSE PROJECT

(8-11 year olds) only. On average, it will take 60 minutes

per year to complete all the required online training

modules or in-person training-depending on age.

Maintaining current information, developing creative

modules on an online learning platform costs a significant

amount of money, and youth exhibitors will pay depending

on the training option. Youth completing the online

modules will pay $12/person/year, and face-to-face

trainings offered for juniors (youth age 8-11) only will pay

$3/person/year.

To complete the YQCA online training or register for

face-to-face training, log into http://yqca.org. Follow the

step-by-step instructions to create a user identity and

password. All payments for either online or in-person

training will be made using the YQCA website. Additional

material fees (beyond the $3.00 payment to YQCA) for

in-person training may apply, and if so will be collected at

the time of the face-to-face training.

Two in-person trainings will be offered for juniors (8-11

year olds). The dates and locations of the trainings are

listed below. Space will be limited, and registration will be

taken only through the YQCA website (http://yqca.org).

In-Person Trainings for Juniors (8-11 year olds)

ONLY:

Thursday, April 19 - Pound Town Hall, Coleman 6:00 -

7:00 pm

Saturday, May 12 - Gillett Community Center, 200 E

Main Street, Gillett 9:30-10:30 am

It is recommended to print the completion certificate at the

end of the online session as the ten-digit certificate number

will be required on your paperwork for training

verification. The certificate and ten-digit certificate

number can only be accessed through your account at

http://yqca.org.

If you are not YQCA certified, you will not be eligible to

sell at the 2018 Marinette County Fair. Training must be

renewed every year for YQCA. Exhibitors must complete

all online modules, or attend the entire in-person training

to be certified. Please choose the option that works best for

you!

If you have any questions about YQCA, please contact

Sarah at (920) 834-6845. If you know of any new 4-H,

FFA, or Scouts members which might be showing

livestock this year, please pass this information along to

them.
