A delegation representing thousands of 4-H members in New York State will expand their knowledge of state government when they travel to Albany March 7 and 8 for the 70th annual 4-H Capital Days event. The 140 teens represent 4-H members from every county in the state and borough in New York City.
During this year's event, 4-H members, volunteer leaders, and staff will meet with leaders in state government, members of the court system and officials from a variety of state agencies. In addition they may observe a working session of the state legislature and talk with their representatives.
Member of the Assembly, Paul Tonko, will discuss the legislative process with the 4-H'ers. The participants will also learn about speaking to their legislators and participate in q quiz bowl that tests their knowledge about state government.
Delegates will learn about career opportunities in government as they tour state agencies, participate in discussion sessions, and visit with their Legislators. They will also get an opportunity to tour the capital and visit the Corning Tower and State Museum.
