While we can't learn about the Texas Government with a couple
hundred 4-H youth in Austin this summer, we CAN learn virtually from a Texas
Congressional member, a Lobbyist, and a Governmental Staffer on Facebook Live!
We can also learn about what a bill is, how to write a bill, and what the Press
Corps and Lobbyist positions look like for the 2022 Texas 4-H Congress in our
zoom sessions led by Texas 4-H Council members and 4-H faculty! Even better -
we CAN review bills written by 4-H youth that had already been submitted for
the 2020 Congress. Additionally, if you or your 4-H'ers were Governor for a
day, what would YOU support?
Join us on
Facebook Live Monday July 13th, Tuesday July 14th, and Wednesday July
15th at 10 AM on the Texas 4-H Facebook Page for live interviews with
leaders in our Texas government as mentioned above. What have your 4-H youth
always wanted to ask someone who works in our Texas government? You and your
4-H'ers can submit the questions we will actually ask in the live
Interviews!
Then, join us on Zoom at 10:45 AM Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday to learn more about Texas 4-H Congress and allow your youth to
discuss submitted bills as if they were the 2020 Texas 4-H Congress Governor.
Participation is NOT limited to 4-H members.
Keep a watch on social media later this week for the announcement
of who we will be interviewing.
The Zoom session links will be sent to registrants on the mornings
of July 13, 14, and 15.
Please note that this event
is not limited to senior aged 4-H members only as Congress would have
been. Both the Facebook live interviews and Zoom sessions are open to youth and
adults, not just 4-H youth, of all ages. Some of the topics discussed may not
be as captivating for junior aged youth as we will be addressing some of the
actual bills submitted for Congress on the Zoom calls, but all youth and adults
are welcome to attend.
