The Tennessee State Council has a long history of bringing young people together to learn, lead, and make a difference. Created to connect students and local chapters across the state, the council helps youth grow their leadership skills, get involved in their communities, and be a voice for change. For years, it’s been a place where students can share ideas, take part in statewide events, and build friendships that last a lifetime. Whether you’re just starting out or ready to lead, the council is here to support your journey.
About the State Council
Each year, a new batch of promising 4-H members are elected to serve on the Tennessee 4-H State Council. As the governing body and leadership group for the state’s 4-H youth development program, the Council provides leadership for state-level 4-H events and promotes 4-H across the state. Council members are elected by their peers annually at three statewide events: State 4-H Congress, State 4-H Roundup, and All-Star Conference.
The officers represent the three regions in Tennessee, and they meet quarterly to plan events and programs, with a special focus on youth leadership, community service, and personal development.
