Leadership Events

4-H equips kids and teens with the skills they need to become leaders in their community, country, and world through civic engagement, public speaking, and interactions with legislators, teachers, experts, and leaders of all kinds.

4-H'ers often go on to become leaders like President Jimmy Carter, Vice Presidents Walter Mondale and Al Gore, and First Ladies Rosalyn Carter and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Over 25 US state Governors, over 30 Senators, and dozens of members of the US House of Representatives are 4-H alumni.
