🚨 Coming Soon: Shooting Sports Teen Leader Track @ SLC 2026

We’re excited to share that a Shooting Sports Teen Leader Track is being planned for this year’s California 4-H State Leadership Conference (July 23–26, UC Davis)!

This will be a pilot program focused on helping teen leaders build real teaching support and leadership skills—learning not just what to teach, but how to effectively assist and support instruction within their projects.

🔹 Limited to 12 participants (with a small alternate list)
🔹 Designed for youth currently enrolled in or with past experience in a 4-H Shooting Sports project
🔹 Hands-on, skill-based learning focused on supporting instruction, leadership, and real-world application

We’ll be sharing more details once registration opens—spots will be limited, so be ready!

👉 Keep an eye on the SLC event page for registration updates and be ready to sign up when it goes live.
