What is 4-H University?
Florida 4-H University is a week-long overnight event for senior 4-H youth (4-H age 14-18) held at the University of Florida. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in educational workshops lead by University of Florida faculty, explore career opportunities, lead community service activities, interact with youth from all over the state, and have fun while developing critical life skills that will help them become productive and engaged citizens of the communities, their country, and their world.

The hybrid event will feature a series of weekend workshop days offered around the state throughout the month of July, online workshops and activities from July 26 to July 28, and an in person State Share the Fun Contest and Senior Awards Celebration on Friday, July 30th.
