Youth Conference

Every June, approximately 500 teenagers converge on the campus of Iowa State University for 3 days full of speakers, workshops, mixers, dances, a banquet, and service-learning activities. If you've completed 8th grade, you're eligible to attend. You don't even have to be in 4-H to attend this conference!

Animal Science Round-Up

If you have a specific interest in animal science, you might want to look into becoming part of the Round-Up.  It is held at the same time as Youth Conference. 

Animal Science Roundup is a three-day immersive program for youth grades 8-12 that have an interest in one of the following areas: beef cattle, dairy cattle, dogs, horse, poultry, sheep, or swine. Youth spend time on the Iowa State University research and teaching farms working with animals learning about health, nutrition, behavior, genetics, and reproduction.   Each project is limited to the first 20 youth that sign up but if you do not get your first choice you can be considered for another project.  Evening activities are the same as the conference delegates.
