The Michigan 4-H State Youth Leadership Council welcomed 12 new members who will serve a two-year term on the council. Established in 2015, the State Youth Leadership Council is a statewide leadership opportunity for Michigan 4-H Youth Development participants ages 15-19.

Council members serve as representatives of the Michigan 4-H program, promoting 4-H through state and local activities, and providing youth a voice and perspective to inform statewide programs and goals. The council strives to create an environment where its members can network and share ideas, programs and experiences with other 4-H members from across the state.

Michigan 4-H youth programs continue to take place virtually at the start of 2021, and new members recently joined with returning members to complete training and team-building activities virtually. Council members participated in training on topics ranging from personality types to public speaking and resume writing.

State Youth Leadership Council members were selected through an application and interview process, where they participated in group interviews conducted by a selection committee comprised of 4-H staff and current council members. Applicants completed a written application and submitted a reference to serve on the council.
