The youth voice of Missouri 4-H
In coordination with the Missouri 4-H Center for Youth Development, the Council’s charge is to represent youth interests throughout the state of Missouri in matters of policy and programming so that the educational and developmental needs of Missouri 4-H’ers may best be addressed by state, regional, and county 4-H faculty and staff. This group of youth leaders assist in the planning and implementation of the state flagship event for the Missouri 4-H Program: State 4-H Congress. In addition, State 4-H Council members represent Missouri 4-H at the annual Missouri State Fair and the various events throughout the year. To request State 4-H Council members for your event, please see the Qualtrics link below.
The State 4-H Council is composed of the Board of Directors and Regional Representatives. During Missouri 4-H Week each year, 4-H’ers across the state vote to elect the Board of Directors. Regional Representatives are voted on by youth in their respective Extension Region.
