STAR (State Teen Action Retreat) is a premiere youth voice opportunity, open to youth ages 13-19, modeled after the National 4-H Conference.
We invite 4-H teen leaders to apply to serve as a planning team member, they select an adult partner and serve to plan the STAR event. STAR is a fun-filled weekend that helps to invigorate 4-H programming across NYS and showcases positive youth development, experiential learning, agriculture, sustainable food systems, STEM, and civic engagement workshops. Roundtables are modeled after the 4-H pillars and help youth to do a deep dive in the topics outside of the hands-on workshops. We also have a community service, keynote speaker, dinner/dance, and ice cream social.
STAR 2025 registration will open on Monday, March 10, 2025, and will close out on Friday, April 11, 2025.
The fee to attend STAR is $125. After registration closes, we will assess a cancellation fee of $62.50 if cancellations come in after April 25, 2025, but substitutions are welcome.
Contact your county's 4-H Educator to register
$125 per person. Registration fee covers lodging and meals.
