Ignite by 4-H is a national summit designed to bring high school youth (between 13-18) together from across the country and give them the opportunity to explore the best 4-H has to offer in different tracks including STEM, Agriscience, and Healthy Living. A hallmark of Ignite is the Lead to Change campaign which empowers youth to be Agents of Change where you (as a delegation) will create and present a proposal to address issues within your community. The best proposals are then awarded funding for implementation. In 2025, Ignite by 4-H returns for youth to attend in-person in Washington D. C. during March 12-16, 2025.
