Citizenship Congress

Citizenship Congress will deepen 4-H youth members’ understanding of civic engagement, governance, public policy, parliamentary procedures, citizenship, and politics. This conference also creates opportunities for youth to network and learn from experts in the political field and to improve their research and communication skills.

Workshops and preparation sessions will culminate with the annual debate where 4-H youth members from across Canada will construct insightful arguments and practice their skills of persuasion and public speaking. Members will leave Citizenship Congress having learned more about Canada, its government, and themselves!
