National 4-H Conference is more than a trip to Washington, D.C. It's a chance to become Beyond Ready.

Delegates work alongside federal partners, collaborate with teens from across the country, and tackle real-world issues affecting young people. Along the way, youth build skills in leadership, communication, teamwork, problem-solving, networking, civic engagement, and professionalism.

When they return home, delegates put those skills into action by serving in leadership roles that support statewide events like Spark Action Change | Summit.

Interested? Contact your parish 4-H agent to learn more about applying to become an NCD!
