4-H Ambassadors

4-H Ambassadors work year-round to promote 4-H in their counties and attend an annual training held each November in McCall. This opportunity is for 4-H members ages 14 and up who have completed at least two years of 4-H projects and activities.

TALK Retreat

Teen Ambassador Leadership Kit (TALK) is an annual retreat held in Albion to polish the public speaking skills of teens who become 4-H Ambassadors.

Know Your Government

Known as KYG, the Know Your Government conference is held in Boise each Presidents Day weekend while the Idaho Legislature is in session.

Designed for students in grades 8–9, KYG is a project as well as an experience.

State Teen Association Convention

Join teens from around the state each June for five days of fun and educational activities on the University of Idaho, Moscow campus.

State Teen Association Convention is for teens who have completed grades 8 and up.

National Opportunities

Teen 4-H members are invited to step outside their comfort zones and apply for one or more of the four national 4-H conferences that take place in Atlanta, Georgia, Washington, D.C. or Madison, Wisconsin.

Each has a rich history and purpose. Delegates selected as representatives of Idaho 4-H make new friends from around the country and enrich their own lives and others through their commitment to 4-H.
