This November, more than 1,200 4-H youth from across the country will arrive in Atlanta, Georgia for the National 4-H Congress.  Since 1922, National 4-H Congress has been the event in which the most outstanding 4-H members from each state are recognized and involved in once-in-a-lifetime leadership, citizenship and community service experiences. To earn this honor, these youth competed against over 360 4-H members, between the ages of 14 and 18, who completed an extensive application listing their accomplishments in:  4-H project work, 4-H participation, major 4-H honors, 4-H community service and citizenship, 4-H leadership and non 4-H experiences in their school, church and community.
