Often the highlight of North Carolina 4-H Congress . . . the Candlelighting Ceremony at Dorton Arena is the culminating event of this week-long 4-H experience, a solemn look back at the year’s work, and quiet contemplation for the year ahead.

Volunteers operate 4-H programs under the guidance of Extension professionals. In North Carolina, more than 40,000 men and women of all ages and cultures share their time and talents with 4-H youth as leaders, experts, judges, and in other capacities. 4-H specialists include the development of volunteers as individuals and leaders in the 4-H program as part of their overall youth development goals.
