What is District Leadership Lab

  • Typically, Leadership Lab is held annually in June for 4-H members who are in or are entering 8th grade through high school including those just graduated seniors. This year, Leadership Lab is open to all enrolled 4-H members.
  • The event is designed to prepare District 5 4-H members for various leadership roles at the county, district, and state levels.
  • Participants gain valuable project knowledge and skills they can take home and implement in their local county 4-H program.
  • By combining work and play, activities are designed to explore creativity in leadership roles, enhance team-building skills, and develop communication and public speaking skills.
  • Members are encouraged to attend and participate in the District 4-H Council business meeting as well as be involved in the selection of the officer team for the next 4-H year.
  • Encourage your members to come ready to have a great camp experience!
