4-H Youth Development
Youth in Governance
Initiative
A Priority of the National 4-H Leadership Trust
The Guiding Vision: Youth are fully engaged participants and decision-makers in the programs, organizations, and communities of 4-H and beyond.
What is Youth in Governance?
Youth in governance is the authentic and meaningful engagement of young people in programs, organizations, and communities, where they have or share voice, influence, and decision-making authority.
During Youth In Governance each day we visit different government and public facilities such as the local fire department, prison, the hospital and morgue, local electric provider and much more. In addition to the meals at local restaurants such as Madame's or Angelo's.
