Meet The Council | Tennessee 4-H Youth Development

Meet the Tennessee 4-H State Council—a team of dedicated high school 4-H members elected to represent and lead youth across the state. These leaders help plan state events, promote 4-H programs, and serve as a voice for their peers. Want to bring inspiration to your local program? You can request a State Council member to visit your county for workshops, events, or to share their 4-H experience!

Message From the President

4-H has enabled me to serve others with my head, heart, hands, and health. Whether we were making holiday cards for nursing home residents or assisting at Governor Bill Lee’s 2023 inauguration ceremony, I have been blessed to serve others in my club, community, country, and world. This organization has given me the chance to meet so many new people who have profoundly influenced the way I speak, think, and act.

I encourage you to discover leadership opportunities within 4-H and continue growing through service, connection, and personal development—just as I have.
