Camden County 4-H\u2019er, Madison McDonald wins 2nd<\/sup> place in the Food Fare Project at 80th<\/sup> Annual 4-H State Congress in Atlanta<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Georgia 4-H celebrated excellence during the 80th<\/sup> Annual 4-H State Congress as top 4-H\u2019ers from around the state gathered in Atlanta July 18-21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

State Congress includes the state-level Project Achievement and Leadership in Action contests, as well as recognition of youth development professionals, supporters, and public officials for their contributions to the success of 4-H in Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During State Congress, more than 200 delegates competed in 50 Project Achievement areas and eight delegates competed in the Leadership in Action contest; one individual from each project area and two Leadership in Action competitors received Master 4-H\u2019er status. Special event Master 4-H\u2019ers from the 2022-23 program year were also recognized at State Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 48,000 youth participated in Project Achievement last year through 4-H programs at the county and district level. Senior 4-H\u2019ers in 9th<\/sup> -12th<\/sup> grade who place 1st<\/sup> at the district level advance to state competition.  This essential Georgia 4-H program element empowers young people with leadership, creativity, public speaking, and record keeping skills that will last a lifetime. At the high school level, students choose a project of interest from a list of areas that include agriculture, human development, performing arts, communication, engineering, and workforce preparation. They subsequently research the topic, create a detailed presentation, and participate in related community service and civic engagement activities. State Congress competition also includes individual interviews with qualified professionals who engage with 4-H\u2019ers about their project work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Georgia 4-H recognizes stakeholders who provide guidance and support to Georgia 4-H throughout the year at State Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

State Congress is made possible by generous contributions from organizations that support positive youth development in Georgia. Major sponsors include Georgia\u2019s EMCs, Georgia Power, Georgia 4-H Foundation, and the Georgia Master 4-H Club. Pillar Sponsors for the event include Harley Langdale Jr. Foundation, Inc., Premium Peanut, and Kelly Loeffler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Georgia 4-H empowers youth to become true leaders by developing necessary life skills, positive relationships, and community awareness. As the premier youth leadership organization in the state, 4-H reaches more than hundreds of thousands of people annually through UGA Extension offices and 4-H facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
