WYOMING 4-H CIVIC DAY AT THE CAPITOL
CIVIC DAY
In the past, the State Leadership Team participated in Legislature Day. This year, we are expanding that experience to a larger group of 4-H members through Civic Day. Civic Day offers senior-aged 4-Hers the opportunity to tour the Wyoming State Capitol, observe legislative sessions, and meet Governor Mark Gordon and other key legislators. Participants will see firsthand how lawmakers work to shape and improve Wyoming—and will have the opportunity for youth voices to be heard.
We are accepting 33 participants on a first-come, first-served basis.
Participants are responsible for arranging their own transportation and lodging, as needed.
- February 22-23rd, 2026
- Cheyenne, Wyoming
