Annual Events

Illinois 4-H Junior Leadership Conference

The Illinois State 4-H Youth Leadership Team plans and coordinates this event for the 4-H members who attend. Participants go to a variety of workshops - focusing on building delegates' skills and knowledge as young leaders in their local 4-H clubs and county 4-H programs.

While learning new things to take back, you'll also be having a great time meeting other junior high delegates at the other special events that are planned. Special entertainment, a speaker, a dance, and loads of fun will keep you smiling and motivated to go home and try all the things you learned!

The conference is open to Illinois 4-H members who are currently in 7th or 8th grade. There is a limit to how many people can attend, so register early! It's first-come, first-served -- We can only take the first 125 Junior High members who register! We even have some scholarships that are available.

The 2008 Illinois 4-H Junior Leadership Conference is February 23-24. 4-H Scholarship applications (for those attending for the first time) are due January 7. Registration will be taken until full or January 28.
