Sectional 4-H Youth Conferences

Each of the four sections of California has an annual teen conference. These conferences have fun recreation and social activities to allow 4-H members to network with those outside their region, while also engaging in many learning opportunities and workshops on topics such as leadership, public speaking, citizenship, and more.
