State 4-H Congress

Held on the campus of the University of Florida during the summer, this is a fabulous week in which 4-H members can have fun and learn alongside other 4-H'ers from all over Florida.  Congress is divided into competitive and non-competitive sessions. The non-competitive portion is devoted to educational workshops on a variety of subjects addressing the interests of Florida's youth. The competitive portion of the event is where first place senior District Winners compete against other District Winners in a variety of events. County 4-H Teams also compete against one another in various Judging Team Contests.  In addition, each county sends their two voting delegates to attend the State 4-H Council Meetings. Interviews for State Recognition and Scholarship applicants are conducted during this event.

Held in Jan or Feb, this is a weekend event designed to provide leadership training to 4-Hers across the state.
