Ohio 4-H Conference

The Ohio 4-H Conference is the largest gathering of 4-H volunteers in the United States! Nearly 1,100 teen and adult volunteers participate each year. The Ohio 4-H Conference is designed to equip participants with resources, information, and skills to meet the ever-changing needs of youth. Attendees have the opportunity to receive training in more than 125 different topics such as career exploration, risk management, camping, leadership, cake decorating, dancing, animal sciences, and much more.

In addition to the educational sessions, the day features the Ohio 4-H Volunteer Recognition Luncheon highlighting the extraordinary accomplishments of volunteers. The teens (age 13 and older) have a luncheon where they recognize their peers and often features a keynote speaker.

• Volunteers and Teens planning to attend the 4-H Conference should contact their local Extension office to get them registered through 4-H Online. Reminder for individuals registering for the conference, that a person can’t attend a workshop and session during the same time period. The registration fee is $40 and the deadline is February 7, 2025.
• Registration materials were posted to the 4-H web site in December. The registration booklet and an overview of conference sessions are both available to help with session selection. When a session is designated as “Teens” only, the session/workshop will not appear on an adult profile. Additionally, if a session/workshop does not appear on the drop-down list, the session/workshop is full. 
• 4-H professionals and special guests that are not registered in 4-H online will register here through a Qualtrics survey.
