- Published: Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2022
Missouri youths gathered with others from across the nation for the 2021 National 4-H Congress, Nov. 26-30 in Atlanta.
During National 4-H Congress, youths participated in a wide range of educational workshops, service-learning projects and keynote speaker presentations. They also had the opportunity to tour Atlanta landmarks such as Coca-Cola, Georgia Aquarium, College Football Hall of Fame, Centennial Olympic Park and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center. This year’s event was the 100th National 4-H Congress.
