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
As a 4-H member, your 4-H career will be an experience you will carry with you all your life. From beloved trips to Tennessee 4-H Congress and RoundUp, service projects at regional All-Star Retreats, or an excitable week at 4-H camp to county cattle shows, local project group meetings, or state judging contests, 4-H has countless resources and events just for you. I challenge you to be involved, ask all the questions you can, and take every chance to grow. There is a place in Tennessee 4-H for you, and you can change the world — for the better.
It is one of my greatest blessings to serve you as Tennessee 4-H State Council President! The 2026-2027 Tennessee 4-H State Council is honored to represent and serve you over the next year. Never hesitate to say hello, reach out, or let us know if you need anything.
