Did you know that there were 10 Indian Boarding Schools in Wisconsin and more than 350 across the United States? Join us in HPL’s Program Room for a presentation about the schools in Wisconsin and the United States and the legacy that still lives on because of them.  Positive Youth Development in Rock County is proud to add Youth Call to Action steps at each month’s program.  Our 4-H families and leaders know, appreciate and advocate for the value of youth leadership.
