The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) will host the 2025 National 4-H Conference April 11-16, 2025, at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia. This information session shares details about the event, including a preliminary look at the agenda, registration process, costs and more.
NIFA has administered the National 4-H Conference on behalf of the Secretary of Agriculture in Washington, D.C., since 1927. Known as “the Secretary’s Conference,” this Conference is the flagship youth development opportunity of USDA. Today, the Conference remains true to its original intent to develop the next generation of leaders while continuing to be future focused. The Conference brings together young people, volunteer leaders, county and state Extension staff, Land-grant University faculty and administrators, as well as state and federal government officials from across the United States and its territories. During the Conference, delegates will become familiar with the government and future career opportunities and share their voice with federal agencies and congressional committees.
