Ignite By 4-H

Ignite by 4-H is a vibrant, 4-day national summit in Washington, D.C., where high school-aged teens engage deeply with topics like STEM, healthy living, civic leadership, and more. They gain hands-on experience, network with peers, and return ready to make a positive impact in their communities.

4-H Conference

The National 4-H Conference is your chance to step into the nation’s capital and make your voice heard. Every spring, teens from across the country gather in Washington, D.C. to meet with federal leaders, explore big issues facing youth and communities, and share ideas that can shape the future of 4-H.

You’ll work in roundtable groups on real-world topics, present your recommendations to U.S. agencies, and even meet with members of Congress. Along the way, you’ll sharpen your leadership and public speaking skills, connect with teens from every corner of the country, and experience life in D.C.

It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to influence change, build friendships, and represent your state on a national stage.
