Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF) is
a 4-H leadership program for high school youth, ages 15-19, from
across the country. Take your 4-H experience to another level
through Citizenship Washington Focus, a six-day intensive summer
citizenship program for youth. CWF delegates learn about the
democratic process and their role as citizens while they experience
our nation's capital. Get the inside scoop about how government
really works from prominent guest speakers and interact with Maine’s
state senators and representatives and/or their staffers. Program
fellows lead bill writing workshops, as well as a national issues
forum and mock elections. There are congressional sessions that
prepare youth for leadership now and in the future. Non-4-H and
mature 14 year olds youth may attend this event with approval from
the county office they represent. . Generally this is a one-time
experience, but youth may attend more than once but they will pay
the full participation price. The 4-H Foundation does not provide
scholarships to non 4-H members.
