National 4-H Congress 2016 – State Record Books Due May 1, 2016

National 4-H Congress 2016 – STATE RECORD BOOKS DUE MAY 1, 2016
It is not too early for our 4-H teens to think about submitting a State Record Book for National Congress.  National 4-H Congress is one of the premiere experiences for 4-H members across the country to participate in.  For over 90 years, members of the 4-H program have been gathering to celebrate the successes and accomplishments of 4-H.  National 4-H Congress provides a life changing experience for youth to meet other members across the United States, as they participate in educational workshops focusing on diversity, cultural experiences, leadership, team development, and of course having fun!

This Record Book covers two project areas plus leadership and citizenship projects.  If you are interested in learning more about this process, we would like to offer a training in March.  Please contact Jill Jackson, jackson@udel.edu, for more information.
