Save the Date: 2026 National 4-H Conference

National 4-H Conference

National Institute for Food and Agriculture’s (NIFA’s) Division of Youth and 4-H is planning the event, and it is NIFA’s premiere youth voice event. Both youth delegates and our Adult Advisors are welcomed to the nation’s capital for six days of compelling content, unparalleled learning, professional development, and networking. Inspirational keynotes and though-provoking challenge questions, roundtable discussions, briefing sessions, and unique community service opportunities abound. Back again is a dynamic youth career fair with interactive exhibits!

This is an excellent opportunity for any 4-H member ages 15-19 years old looking to connect, collaborate, share their voice and ideas with our federal government. It is also a wonderful professional development experience for CCE educators to serve as Adult Advisors. While we will also consider CCE approved volunteers, sending CCE educators to chaperone is our priority. 

Registration information will be available soon.
