Welcome Kelly Drake!

I’m Kelly Drake, and I’m excited to be part of the Barron County 4-H community! As the 4-H Program Assistant, I’m here to support our 4-H Program Educator, along with our youth, volunteers, and families, to help make their 4-H experience as rewarding and impactful as possible.

My background includes leading statewide programs focused on family support, youth development, and community collaboration. I’ve worked closely with counties and organizations to strengthen programs that empower families and help young people thrive. As a former 4-H’er myself and a parent of current members, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible impact of this program, and I’m excited to help it continue to thrive in Barron County.

Outside of 4-H, I love spending time on my hobby farm, working in my garden, and baking delicious treats.

I’m excited to be part of this community and look forward to working together to support and grow Barron County 4-H. Contact me at kelly.drake@wisc.edu
