About this conference
The Ohio 4-H Conference is the largest gathering of 4-H volunteers in the United States, with nearly 1,200 teen and adult volunteers, professionals, and teens participating each year. The conference is designed to equip participants with resources, information, and skills to meet the ever-changing needs of youth. Attendees have the opportunity to receive training in more than 125 different topics such as career exploration, risk management, camping, leadership, cake decorating, dancing, and animal sciences. In addition to educational sessions, the event features the Ohio 4-H Volunteer Recognition Luncheon highlighting the extraordinary accomplishments of adult volunteers and a separate Teen Luncheon for youth to recognize their peers and hear from a keynote speaker.
