WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Eleven Indiana youths are headed to Atlanta, Ga., for the National 4-H Congress on Nov. 24 to Nov. 28. National 4-H Congress is a gathering of 4-H youths from across the country. The annual event's objectives are: stimulating educational experiences for 4-H members; motivating 4-H members to greater effort and to recognize their achievements; providing opportunity for industrial, agricultural and educational leaders to contribute to the development of young people; and focusing public attention on the 4-H program's values. Congress delegates are selected by the state. Youths interested in attending must submit an application along with supporting evidence of 4-H achievements and activities to their counties. The counties forward the applications to the state 4-H office where a committee determines state delegates.
