The 4-H Issues Conference is a four-day program for top student leaders from across the Commonwealth of Kentucky. At the conference, participants learn the process skills needed to plan and carry out community programs which address local youth issues. Participants also have a chance to share their thoughts about these issues with other young people from across Kentucky.
The four central goals of the conference are to help young people:
- Become more involved in shaping public policy regarding youth issues
- Believe they can be resources for bringing about positive change in their community
- Acquire the skills they need to give leadership to local change efforts
- Become more knowledgeable about the issues that affect them
The conference is open to high school sophomores and juniors who display leadership potential and who will make a commitment to implement at home what they have learned. Funds covering youth’s participation expenses at the Leadership Center would include: registration fee, lodging, meals, and workshop resources.
