What is Global Citizenship?

Global Citizenship involves people of all ages understanding the world around us andour place in it. Global Citizenship requires working to develop and share understanding with others so that they can be responsible and knowledgeable global citizens. Appreciation for all cultures, including one’s own as well as a desire to learn and explore issues affecting societies, agriculture, environment, and resources around the globe, are key components that make up Global Citizenship.

Global Citizenship is a youth development program under the Leadership and Civic Engagement priority area within Iowa 4-H. It can be found within the State 4-H Council, the Iowa 4-H Youth Conference, 4-H at the Iowa State Fair and more.
