National 4-H Events

National 4‑H Council is proud to host national events on behalf of the entire 4‑H system. These events bring together 4‑H’ers from across the country to engage and learn on topics of Agriculture, Civic Engagement, Healthy Living and STEM and take that learning back to their communities. Events hosted by National 4‑H Council will continue to be held virtually in 2021. We plan to host our 2022 events in-person in the Washington, D.C metro area.
