To grow, dream, connect, lead...one of our foundational beliefs that has guided us for more than 100 years is belonging. We believe that all youth deserve a space where they can be surrounded by people who are cheering for their success. At Illinois 4-H we are committed to the mission that all youth feel welcomed and have an equal opportunity to learn and grow in a safe environment.
In 4-H, you learn by doing and you usually have a pretty great time while you're doing it! Want to know more about what your 4-H experience might look like?
4-H is a place where you can find where you belong. It's where you decide what matters to you and learn about things that interest you. And, it's the place where you serve in the community where you live.

This training provided by the Illinois State 4-H Youth Leadership Team, gives you the chance to explore your own 4-H history and why you are involved, put that story into words, and learn the best ways to approach donors, civic groups, elected officials, and others to talk about 4-H. Learn why 4-H believes in Positive Youth Development and how we emphasize the essential elements of Belonging, Independence, Generosity and Mastery. Once you’re trained, you’ll receive an invitation to be a part of our Legislative Connection events.
