9th-12th grade 4-H’ers in Washington County are encouraged to get more involved and take their 4-H experience to the next level through the State Recognition Opportunities. There are many opportunities available for recognition awards or to represent Iowa in upcoming leadership conferences on the state and national levels. These provide an avenue for youth recognition and provide young people with an opportunity to practice and grow leadership, communications, and college and career readiness skills through application and interview activities. Application and support material must be submitted online by February 1st. Awards are announced in mid-April. If 4-Hers would like more information, help with the application process, or have any questions, please contact Amy Green at the Washington County Extension Office.
