Each year the Warren County 4-H Committee selects 4-H teens to attend outstanding programs such as Citizneship Washington Focus, Leadership Camp, Sea Camp and Forestry & Wildlife Conservation Camp. The selection process begins with completion of the Ohio Achievement Record (OAR). The OAR is a 6-page application form that highlights accomplishments, service and leadership skills both in 4-H and in the community. The 4-H Committee reviewed OARs and interviewed all candidates on February 24 before making their selections.
Citizenship Washington Focus - June 25-July 1
Citizenship Washington Focus gives 4-H youth the opportunity to explore, develop, and refine the civic engagement skills they need to be outstanding leaders in their home communities and at the national level. Through sightseeing tours in the living classroom of Washington, D.C. and hands-on educational workshops, youth will learn about the history of our nation, the leaders who have shaped it, and how they can apply the leadership and citizenship skills they have learned at CWF when they return home.
