Save the Date: STAR 2026

STAR (State Teen Action Retreat) is a premiere youth voice opportunity, open to youth ages 13-19, modeled after the National 4-H Conference. We invite 4-H teen leaders to apply to serve as a planning team member, they select an adult partner and serve to plan the STAR event. STAR is a fun-filled weekend which helps to invigorate 4-H programming across NYS and showcases positive youth development, experiential learning, agriculture, sustainable food systems, STEM, and civic engagement workshops. Roundtables are modeled after the 4-H pillars and help youth to do a deep dive in the topics outside of the hands-on workshops. We also have a community service, keynote speaker, dinner/dance and ice cream social.
