Application information

The Oregon 4-H program views National 4-H Congress as an important opportunity for 4-H members and is committed to providing this experience to as many 4-H members as possible. Because trips to Congress are dependent on donations, a selection process is held each year. Oregon trip winners typically demonstrate a considerable breadth and depth of 4-H experience.

Eligibility requirements

  • Have at least three years of 4-H participation, including the current year.
  • Must be an active 4-H participant during the current 4-H year.
  • Must be at least 15 years old at the time of application.
