Ignite by 4-H continues to be the premier experience where teens find their spark and build career and life readiness skills that prepare them to become Beyond Ready for the future.

Through peer and educator led hands-on workshops, offsite experiences, and immersive activations, teens will explore what fuels their interests and what it takes to succeed in life and work. Explore Workshops provide opportunities to attend sessions outside of their selected track and discover new areas of interest.
