The Kansas 4-H Youth Council gathered for Summer Retreat to grow as leaders and strengthen connections.

Members learned about the impact of 4-H from the county to the state level, reflected on their own 4-H journeys, explored how Disney’s Four Keys to Success can help create meaningful 4-H experiences, and worked in committees to plan future events. Members collaborated to share new ideas while also having opportunities to connect and make memories as they explored a museum, rode a train, and enjoyed time together.

Real impact starts with people who choose to show up. This National 4-H Volunteer Week, we’re celebrating the volunteers who not only give their time, but inspire youth to lead, mentor others, and give back in their own ways. Because of you, the next generation isn’t just learning—they’re stepping up and making a difference. Thank you for investing in youth and being the difference. Ready to make your impact? Step in, show up, and be the reason someone else believes they can too.

National 4-H Conference brought together some of the nation’s brightest young minds to share perspectives, grow as leaders, and prepare for advocacy. Throughout the week, they ignited passion within themselves and others, built lasting connections, and strengthened their impact on the communities they represent. While the week has come to an end, the impact, purpose, and drive they discovered is only just beginning.

From Kansas to the nation’s capital, Emily and Miles, along with other Kansas youth, attended the Ignite Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. Surrounded by other leaders, they gained new ideas, built connections, and stepped outside their comfort zones. Emily participated in the Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF) track, exploring government, debating real-world issues, hearing from inspiring speakers, and visiting national monuments, gaining a deeper sense of civic responsibility. Miles followed the Healthy Living path, focusing on wellness and leadership while connecting with others who share similar passions. Through these experiences, they discovered what it truly means to lead with purpose.

A week full of growth, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
Five council members attended Buckeye Leadership Workshop and it was more than a workshop, it was an impactful experience filled with new skills, meaningful lessons, and amazing people. From dancing and leadership to outdoor cooking and journal making, our members are coming back inspired and excited to bring what they learned back to our state events!
