North Carolina 4-H was proudly represented at the National 4-H Conference in Arlington, VA on April 10–15! This youth development event, hosted by USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), brings together hundreds of 4-H’ers from across the nation and around the world to grow as leaders and changemakers. Throughout the week, our NC 4-H teens experienced hands-on learning, professional development, and meaningful networking opportunities. They explored future career paths, engaged with federal agencies and congressional committees, and most importantly—used their voices to help shape the future. We’re proud of these outstanding young leaders for representing North Carolina and continuing the 4-H mission of making the best better! #northcarolina4h #beyondready #nc4h
