Conference Sessions
Roundtables
The Roundtables discussions are an integral part of National 4-H Conference. Delegates are randomly assigned to a Roundtable and will work with their assigned group throughout conference. The discussions are led by Collegiate Facilitators, most of whom are former 4-H’ers, who continue to volunteer support to 4-H and have a shared interest in the 4-H ideals.
Delegates will explore various programmatic aspects of 4-H and how 4-H is delivered across the nation. Each Roundtable session will have specific tasks focused on developing recommendations to share with those who determine 4-H programs- including the Secretary of Agriculture, Land-Grant and Extension program leaders, and others. The Roundtables ensure that young people have a voice in the ways that 4-H is administered, both locally and nationally.
WorkshopsNational 4-H Conference is the premier educational leadership experience for youth 4-H members (15-19yrs.) who are actively engaged in 4-H programs across the U.S and its territories. National 4-H Conference provides an exciting opportunity for 4-H youth to learn and share resources with 4-H peers and collaborators across the nation. The conference brings together the resources of the 4-H program and Land-Grant University System with the youth, adult volunteers, Extension staff/faculty and collaborators who build and sustain effective programs for 4-H youth. Each year, one of the 4-H Mission Mandates is highlighted as the overall focus of National 4-H Conference. In 2011, the conference focus will be the mission mandate – Healthy Living.
