A Place For Learning, Leading, and Laughing
Growing confident kids, strong leaders, and connected families through hands-on learning opportunities, community service, and friendship since 1953.
The Kirchhayn Trotters 4‑H Club has been helping youth and families grow through leadership, learning, and community service in Washington County, Wisconsin since 1953. We are a family-oriented 4‑H club based in Jackson, Wisconsin, where young people can explore their interests, develop new skills, build confidence, and form lasting friendships.
Our club meets on the first Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at St. John’s Lutheran Church. We proudly welcome new members and families from throughout Washington County. Whether your child is interested in animals, agriculture, arts and crafts, sewing, STEM projects, leadership development, or community service, there is a place for everyone in 4‑H.
Today, our club includes more than 70 active members supported by dedicated project leaders and volunteers who encourage learning, cooperation, responsibility, and personal growth. Through hands-on 4‑H projects and activities, members gain valuable life skills while discovering their unique talents and interests.
Giving back to our community is an important part of who we are. Throughout the year, members participate in service projects such as the Jacob Eickstedt Comfort Bag Project, blanket making, Salvation Army bell ringing, supporting local food pantries, and many other volunteer opportunities that make a positive impact in Washington County.
If you are looking for a youth development program, family activities, or a welcoming 4‑H club, we would love to meet you. To learn more about the Kirchhayn Trotters 4‑H Club.
