2004 Youth Leadership Conference, June 9-11
Alabama 4-H Center
Columbiana, AL
 The Youth Leadership Conference consists of three days of workshops and seminars devoted to cultivating leadership in Alabama’s Youth. Its foundation lies in the fact that leaders are not born, they are made. The Youth Leadership Conference is an opportunity to help high school age students begin the process of becoming a leader whatever walk of life they choose.
The delegates consist of 100+ young people (male and female) ages 15-19 (approximately 90% 15 -16) from all across the state. We like to think they are the "cream of the crop" since they are selected by their county Farmers Federation Young Farmers Committees. Registration is limited to 150 delegates. While we are dedicated 100% to protecting and promoting agriculture in Alabama, only a small portion of these attendees come from a farming background.
The weekend consists of a series of three workshops, lasting an hour and a half each, aimed at developing leadership potential. During a series of five general sessions, the delegates listen to speakers that hold many different state and community leadership positions. The content of the workshop is designed to inspire the delegates to make the most out of their lives, to develop good leadership habits within themselves, and to become responsible, productive citizens. Past speakers have included the State Attorney General, State Representatives, professional atheletes, and various motivational speakers.
It is held at the Alabama 4-H Center in Columbiana, Alabama. Visit their website. Of course, there is time to play. Included in the weekend are activities such as high and low ropes courses, rock climbing, hiking, volleyball, tennis, and swimming.
This is a great opportunity for the youth of Alabama to begin developing the tools necessary to become leaders in their schools, homes, and communities. If you have any further questions, please call:
