4-H Youth Development: An Overview
Young people become confident, mature adults ready for success in today’s challenging
world through 4-H, the only youth development program with a direct connection to
technological advances from research conducted at state land-grant universities.
Studies show that the more than 6.5 million youth participating in 4-H do better in
school, are more motivated to help others, feel safe to try new things, achieve a
sense of self-esteem, and develop lasting friendships.
Boys and girls of all races and ethnic backgrounds in urban, suburban and rural
communities across America and on U.S. military installations worldwide participate
in 4-H experiences. 4-H programs are offered through school-based, after-school
and camp settings and community clubs.

Illini Summer Academies

June 26-28, 2008
University of Illinois, Champaign/Urbana

The Illinois 4-H Leadership Convention has been replaced by the Illini Summer Academies. We have totally redesigned this 3-day event to provide Illinois teens new opportunities to explore the University of Illinois campus; study potential careers or leadership skills; and meet youth from across the state.

In general, Academies are open to ANY Illinois youth who will be an incoming high school freshman to senior this fall and who falls within the 14-18 age range as of September 1, 2008. (In other words, if you are graduating from high school this spring, even though you may fit into the age bracket, you will not be able to attend an academy.) In addition, some of the academies have restricted their attendance to incoming juniors and seniors (current sophomores and juniors) only. Those restrictions are listed below.

All academies will take place from June 26-28 on the University of Illinois campus in Champaign/Urbana. Delegates will live in college dormitories and have opportunities to tour the campus. This is a live-in academy; delegates will not be allowed to commute to the campus for daily activities. Joint activities for all delegates will be scheduled for each evening, as well as an opening and closing session, offering delegates a chance to meet and socialize with teens attending different academies and from across the state. A formal banquet is also scheduled for Friday evening at the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel & Conference Center. Bus transportation will be provided for delegates to and from the banquet.
