National 4-H Conference
April 2027
National 4-H Conference is the annual premier national civic engagement opportunity for 4-H members across the country. Delegates will not only learn while at the conference, but will have the opportunity to practice and apply in a real world setting their newly developed and refined presentation and advocacy skills. Delegates choose an important societal topic and in round table groups prepare a briefing. During the conference, groups present their briefing to federal officials around the Washington, D.C. area. 4-H members in grade 9-12 may attend. Four Indiana 4-H delegates will be selected using an application and interview process.
Applications are due December 1, 2026.
Youth may complete their application through their 4-H Online account. Once logged in, navigate to the “Events” tab and select “National 4-H Conference Application 2026.” Complete all required questions and submit your application when finished.
