The goal of the Kentucky 4-H Issues Conference are for delegates to; enrich their citizenship and civic engagement roles, enhance their leadership skills, develop public presentation skills, gain an understanding of local issues and to learn the process of addressing local issues. During the three-day intensive conference, a partnership occurs between the Delegates (youth) and the Facilitators (adult) which leads to a successful learning experience.  Delegates were involved in 20 hours of hands-on experience during the conference.  The past 3 years Floyd Co. 4-H has had 6 Teen Council Members to attend the conference.   100% of the those attended reported an increase in respecting other people’s views or ideas and 80% reported an increase in their public presentation skills. “After attending Issues Conference, I feel more confident in my ability to voice my opinion on issues in my school and community.  I feel more comfortable working with others at school and in my community to help to come up with solutions to issues we may have. “Madison
