nvesting in the Future: National 4-H Experiences for Oklahoma Youth
The Oklahoma 4-H Foundation is proud to support Oklahoma 4-H members in attending prestigious National 4-H events that provide unparalleled leadership, civic engagement, and personal development opportunities. Each year, Oklahoma 4-H members represent our state at nationally recognized programs, gaining skills, experiences, and connections that shape them into future leaders.
Transformational National 4-H Experiences
Oklahoma 4-H members have the opportunity to participate in several national trips annually, including:
National 4-H Congress – A premier leadership and citizenship conference where 4-H youth from across the country gather to develop leadership skills and explore career pathways.
Citizenship Washington Focus – A hands-on civic engagement program in Washington, D.C., where members learn about the legislative process, meet policymakers, and develop leadership skills in government and public service.
National 4-H Conference – A youth-driven event that brings together the brightest young minds to discuss critical issues and provide recommendations to national leaders and policymakers.
Denver Western Roundup – A unique national event that allows 4-H members to compete in livestock, horse, and leadership contests while networking with peers from across the nation.
In addition to these opportunities, the Oklahoma 4-H Foundation has proudly supported members in attending once-in-a-lifetime experiences, such as the Presidential Inauguration, offering youth a front-row seat to history while deepening their understanding of civic engagement and leadership.
