Tillis Encourages Support of 4-H Program

Statement

Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) recently cosponsored a Senate resolution to recognize the immeasurable benefits of the national 4-H program for young people and its newly-launched "Grow True Leaders" campaign. The Senate unanimously passed the resolution yesterday.

"I am happy the Senate came together to recognize the more than 10,000 4-H programs in North Carolina and the 7 million 4-H participants across the nation," said Senator Tillis. "As the largest youth organization in the United States, 4-H plays a profound role in developing the leadership and public speaking skills of younger generations of Americans."

Last week, Senator Tillis spoke at the National 4-H Council Congressional Breakfast in Washington, D.C. and met with attendees visiting from North Carolina. The 4-H movement supports young people through programs designed to shape future leaders and innovators, particularly in rural communities.
