State 4-H Award Sponsors

About State 4-H Awards

Each year approximately 100 State 4-H Award delegates participate in the Michigan State 4-H Awards Program. State winners are selected during the 4-H Awards Program, held at MSU during 4-H Exploration Days in June. Winners are announced at the Michigan 4-H State Awards Recognition Celebration.

Gifts to the State 4-H Awards Program supports 4-H youth leadership development and recognition by:

  • Providing monetary awards to both the senior and junior 4-H State Award winners for that award area.
  • Supporting the entire award area delegation through participating in the 4-H State Awards Program, interviews, leadership development and 4-H State Awards Recognition Celebration.

Gold Sponsors

  • A gift of $750 will provide full sponsorship (Gold Sponsor) of an award area.

Gold sponsors receive exclusive sponsorship of the award category with the following benefits:

  • Recognition at the awards program.
  • Recognition in the Michigan 4-H Foundation’s Clover Citation Program.
  • Invitation to the Michigan 4-H Foundation Annual Membership Meeting.

If a full sponsorship gift is not feasible at this time, your support at any level makes a difference for Michigan 4‑H youth!
