2024 Trip Application for National 4-H Conference
Due to a change in scheduling, Indiana 4-H WILL NOT be participating in the Citizenship Washington Focus trip to Washington DC next summer. Instead, they are opening up the National 4-H Conference (also in the Washington DC area) to any high school youth that is interested. It is suggested that any youth planning to attend CWF now attend the National 4-H Conference. This conference will be held April 19-24, 2024. See below for more details about the conference. Since the registration deadline for the National 4-H Conference is coming up soon, anyone in grades 9-12 that is interested in attending must complete the attached application by NOVEMBER 15. In Vanderburgh County, we have funding for 2 youth to attend this trip. The youth chosen to attend are asked to submit a $100 refundable deposit and complete final registration in 4-H Online (upon notification of being chosen). Please reach out if you have any questions and I hope you consider applying for this outstanding trip!
Information about National 4-H Conference:
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. Registration includes transportation, lodging, and meals as part of the conference package.
