The National 4-H CongressWHEN: November 29 - December 3, 2013 WHERE: Atlanta, GA National 4-H Congress is the flagship event of the 4-H program. The conference is open to 4-H members from the United States and its territories. It provides youth (ages 14-19) a quality, educational and cross-cultural experience that exceeds what any state could provide independently. It is designed to address the needs and issues of youth while helping to develop capable, competent, and caring citizens. The program is built upon the Cooperative Extension System's belief that young people are significant partners in addressing the issues that face our nation, especially those affecting youth. Each year a National Design Team of Extension educators, 4-H youth and 4-H adult volunteers analyze current youth issues and determine the most effective ways to address them. The program combines plenary sessions, seminars, discussion groups, a nationally broadcast town hall meeting, and a service learning experience. The young people who attend National 4-H Congress come from all strata of our nation's population representing a variety of economic, social and cultural backgrounds. They hail from farms, small towns, suburbs, and cities. They represent all ethnicities. New Mexico youth are selected by submitting a State Recordbook to be judged. The top 15 books selected earn the youth a trip to 4-H Congress. The program costs in New Mexico are covered by the New Mexico 4-H Foundation. The Coca-Cola Company, Gold Kist, Tyson's Foods, and Zenecca Ag Chemicals have made major pledges supporting the national event. back to topCitizenship Washington FocusCitizenship Washington Focus is a leadership program for high school youth from across the country.
