The Iowa State 4-H Council is composed of approximately 45 energetic and positive high school juniors and seniors who act as ambassadors for 4-H. One of their major responsibilities is planning the Iowa 4-H Youth Conference held in Ames, Iowa every June.
Members are selected from their extension areas through an application and interview process. The youth meet 3-4 times during the year at the State 4-H Camping Center. They get to know each other through team building activities, plan conference, promote 4-H, help to ensure funding for 4-H programs, and form friendships that last a lifetime.
The Iowa State 4-H Council members also serve as ambassadors for 4-H, often meeting with county councils and 4-H groups in their local areas. The State Fair, state 4-H events, and leadership workshops also keep the council active.
