State Level Opportunities

State Level events are another great way to meet other youth from across the state and to enjoy time with friends you have made from the district.

Citizenship Focus

Hands-on workshops, panel discussion, distinguished speakers and open discussion will help youth discover how government impacts your everyday life, and how you can impact government in return. You will learn about state government, learn about working with public officials, hear from prominent North Carolina officials and visit legislators. Typically held in June.

Electric Congress

North Carolina 4-H Electric Congress is an educational event designed to recognize excellence in the Electric Program throughout the state. 4-H Electric Congress travels from region to region of the state, thus allowing for a variety of programming opportunities for everyone. 4-H members participate in workshops, meet their Power Company Representatives, and interact with other electric winners. 4-H’ers must be at least 11 years old to attend. Counties may send two project winners, two cumulative record participants, and one program recruiter. 4-H Electric Congress is usually held during the second week of July.

N.C. 4-H Congress

Held the third week of July, N.C. 4-H Congress is the culminating 4-H event for the year. The event is geared for teen 4-H’ers ages 13-18; however, junior 4-H’ers may attend part-time if they were named district presentation winners. Congress is held on the campus of NC State University. Activities of the week include: State Fashion Show, State Talent Show, State Presentation Finals, Honor Club Tapping, State-level Hands-to-Service Project, State 4-H Council Officer Elections, Banquets, Dances, and more.

YouthVoice Summit

YouthVoice is held by the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners during their Annual Meeting, usually in August. Every county is able to send one youth representative. During this summit, youth participate in various workshops based around teamwork and learning how local government works. The youth representative is required to attend one county commissioners meeting prior to the summit and speak to the board on a topic of their choosing.

Honor Club

A 4-H’er must be 16 years of age or older as of January 1 to apply. Membership is based on a point system involving community service, 4-H activities, leadership and citizenship. Applications are due in the State 4-H Office by January 15.

State Officers

A 4-H member is eligible to run for State 4-H Officer if he or she is at least 16 years of age as of January 1 of the year of nomination, and if he or she has been an active 4-H member for at least three years prior to seeking office.
