Wesley Miller, of Norborne, was among the nearly 900 youth delegates from 44 states and Puerto Rico who attended the 2019 National 4-H Congress from November 29 to December 3 in Atlanta.
According to a news release, selection for this trip combined scores from a written recognition form and interview. Attendance at the National 4-H Congress is a culminating event for many 4-H’ers; and a highly-sought-after award. Only 20 4-H members from Missouri were selected to attend.
At the event, the youth participated in a wide range of educational workshops and heard from speakers such as the current Miss America. Delegates also participated in a morning of service around Atlanta. Activities included: working in classrooms, cleaning up parks and much more. Youth also had the opportunity to tour some of Atlanta’s landmarks such as Coca-Cola, CNN, the Martin Luther King Jr. visitor center and others.
For more information about 4-H, visit its website or contact your local Extension Center.
