YouthVoice 2025
August 22nd - 23rd
Greenville, NC
Each year, NC 4-H teams up with the NC Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) and NC Cooperative Extension to help teens like you get a behind-the-scenes look at how county government works. You’ll learn how decisions are made, meet local leaders, and find out how you can get involved and make your voice heard.

One 4-H youth from Guilford County will be selected to attend, and the event is completely free. This is your chance to step up, lead, and represent your county in a big way! To be considered for selection, contact Meredith as soon as possible.

Meet Miki, a 17-year-old girl from Japan: "I play the saxophone and trombone and would love to join my school's band. I enjoy sewing, reading, listening to music, sports, art, cooking, nature, and roller-skating. When I was in Pennsylvania for my summer homestay I learned to sew a dress. I have made 4 more since returning! I want to share cooking with my host family (udon noodles) and kudo (Japanese traditional archery)."
