The 4-H Youth In Action Awards are a national recognition program that honors young people who have made a significant impact in their communities through 4-H programs. 4-H is a youth development organization that operates in all 50 states in the United States and provides a range of educational programs and resources for young people.
The 4-H Youth In Action Awards recognize four young people each year in four different categories: Agriculture, Civic Engagement, Healthy Living, and STEM. Each category winner receives a $5,000 scholarship to support their education and continued development.
Nominations for the 4-H Youth In Action Awards are typically accepted in the fall, and winners are announced in the spring. The award ceremony takes place at the National 4-H Conference in Washington, D.C.
