California 4-H State Leadership Conference History

The 4-H State Leadership Conference engages youth in reaching their fullest leadership potential.

The 4-H State Leadership Conference brings together high school youth from across California in a four-day leadership training, networking, and learning experience.

In 1914, 143 4-Hers traveled to the University Farm in Davis to attend the first State 4-H Convention honoring 4-H contest winners. The 4-H members stayed for three days in canvas tents.The Conference changed in 1960 to the current 4-H State Leadership Conference to help to improve leadership skills.
