Texas 4-H Congress
Texas 4-H Congress is the premiere leadership experience for Texas 4-H members between the ages of 15 and 18. Held on the even numbers years in the Texas State Capitol, Texas 4-H Congress allows 4-H members to experience the law making process first hand by writing, submitting, and then serving as a member of the House of Representatives, the Senate, the Press, or as a Lobbyist. From these roles, the 4-H members determine the faith of each bill submitted over the four day event. Cost for the event range from $150.00 to $250.00, pending on donor support.
