Since it’s beginning in 1948, 4-H Congress has given some 33,800 4-H’ers and volunteer leaders firsthand experience in state government. At Congress, delegates become senators or representatives and form a “junior” state Congress. They devote their time to learning about government, citizenship, leadership and their state capital. 4-H members will be senators and representatives at Congress. It is open to current 9-10th grade 4-H members that have joined 4-H Honor Club and written the essay. Each delegate attending Tennessee 4-H Congress must have an essay prepared on the Congress theme. Delegates stay at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Murfreesboro, TN.
