Sarah Feider started in the role as the full time 4-H Program Educator on September 8th. Sarah brings to the position two decades of experience in education and has a master’s degree in Adult and Continuing Education Leadership and a degree in Education, both from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Previously, over the summer, Sarah was hired as Extension’s .5 Positive Youth Development educator. In her part time role, Sarah reached out to area schools, visiting 14 classrooms and providing 99 youth with a hands-on learning program promoting what 4-H has to offer. Sarah is bringing that energy to her current role as the 4-H Educator. In her first 30 days, Sarah oversaw the annual financial reviews for all clubs and groups, held an open house and surpassed expectations for the Enchanted Forest. Over 500 attended, 300 were expected.
Currently Sheboygan has 708 4-H members. Sarah projects in 2025 that number will increase to 800. That is based on two new partnerships Sarah started with the Boys and Girls Club, Random Lake Middle School, and Change Academy to create in-school and after-school 4-H clubs.
