After a very successful trip to the 2009 National 4-H Congress it is that time for applications for 2010. National 4-H Congress is the flagship event of the National 4-H Program. Each year 4-Hers come from around the U.S. as well as Puerto Rico to attend Congress and participate in fun and exciting leadership opportunities. During this 5 day event community leaders, speakers, and educators present the most current and timely information available. The 2010 National 4-H Congress will take place November 25 - 30th in Atlanta, Georgia. The cost for youth to participate is $1400. Online applications will open on 4-H CONNECT starting February 1, 2010 and close on April 16, 2010. The Texas 4-H and Youth Development Program strongly encourages all youth between the ages of 14 and 18 to apply. For more information on attending National Congress please see the following document or go online at http://texas4-h.tamu.edu/youth/natcongress/index_youth_natcongress.php .
All District Extension Administrators and County Extension Directors should ensure that all County Extension Agents are aware of this opportunity.
