4-H Citizenship Washington Focus 2025 – A National 4-H Opportunity
Plans for Citizenship Washington Focus 2025 are underway. The conference is scheduled for June 21-27, 2025, at the Hyatt Regency in Bethesda, Maryland. NJ is planning to send a group of approximately ten (10) 4-H members and 2 adult chaperones to the conference.
Program Overview: Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF) is National 4-H Council’s premier leadership and civic engagement experience held each summer in the Washington, DC area. It is a week-long event (Sunday - Friday) for 4-H members in grades 9-12 (14-19 years old). The program is based on the principle that democracy requires skills and strategies that must be learned and practiced, and it teaches participants to be active, responsible citizens and leaders. The program utilizes Washington, DC as a working classroom to learn about the government, citizenship and civic engagement and provides hands-on opportunities for our teens to promote “Better Citizens Today, Better Leaders Tomorrow." The New Jersey delegates will travel by coach bus for the week and will experience all that Washington, DC has to offer. We will join approximately 250 4-H members representing a variety of states.
