4-H Teen Citizenship, Leadership and Service Conference

January 26–27, 2008 Kettunen Center, Tustin, MI

The conference is open to teens aged 14 and up (4-H members and non-members alike), adult 4-H volunteers and youth educators, and adults who work with youth in a variety of educational settings. The 2008 conference is for individuals who are willing to put into action in their communities the skills that they learn and knowledge that they gain. It is designed both for those interested in starting a project in the area of citizenship, leadership and service and for those who would like to incorporate citizenship, leadership and service ideas into their clubs and projects. All sessions will be conducted with teens and adults together.

Workshop Purpose

Participants in the 2008 4-H Teen Citizenship, Leadership and Service Conference will work with 4-H staff to:

Learn skills and gain knowledge in the areas of citizenship, leadership and service, and to understand why this is an important area for programming.
Build on and enhance existing programs and activities to include citizenship, leadership and service components.
Give youth and adults the tools to start a citizenship, leadership or service program in their community.
Meet and share ideas with 4-H volunteers from around the state.
Make friends and have fun learning in a beautiful, natural setting in Northern Michigan.

There are four areas of interest for conference participants to choose from. Each of these tracks will focus on a more specific part of citizenship, leadership and service. Conference participants should indicate when they register which track they would like to follow. The four tracks are:

1. Leadership 101
2. Peer Mentoring and Service Learning
3. 4-H Councils and Committees – Teens and Adults Serving Together
4. Community Service and Citizenship

See the Conference Announcement for more information on these tracks!
