Workshop Proposals Deadline May 15, 2023
This year's education platform is geared towards reaching the next steps in your leadership journey by identifying your skills, utilizing available resources, and developing competencies needed to act. Please create your workshop proposal with the Education Platform in mind.
Our educational workshops will be held in-person on Saturday, July 29th (1:00-5:00PM)
Facilitators are required to be 4-H members aged 15-19 and lead groups of attendees with a partner in small meeting discussions about conference activities, goals, and personal development. Facilitators will work as a team and assist with conference activities and educational sessions. But most importantly, SLC facilitators will develop skills in leadership, group facilitation, and more! This role has a selection process.
Program Assistants are responsible for leading PA Sessions, facilitating groups of youth attendees, creating a positive learning environment, and assisting with conference activities as needed. Program Assistants will work in pairs with small groups of 4-H youth and work as the face of the conference. This is a great way to stay involved with the 4-H program as a young adult and make lifelong friendships! This role has a selection process.
Coming Soon!
We are still finalizing a few details that impact the budget. We know that the cost of the event is important for you to promote SLC. We will have that to you as soon as possible.
