Texas 4-H Congress

Texas 4-H Congress allows 4-H members to experience the law making process first hand by writing, submitting, and then serving as a member of the House of Representatives, the Senate, the Press, or as a Lobbyist. From these roles, the 4-H members determine the fate of each bill submitted.

Costs

A select number of 4-H delegates will be allotted to each district, urban counties, Prairie View Cooperative Extension, and the 4-H Military Program. Contact the local county extension office in the Spring of 2016 for information on how to apply to attend.
