Citizenship Washington Focus

  • The Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF) program is a national 4-H citizenship program. It provides opportunities for young people to:

    • explore, develop, and refine the civic engagement skills they need to be outstanding leaders in their community, country, and world.
    • engage in sightseeing tours throughout Washington, D.C., led by college-aged program assistants.
    • learn the history of our nation and how leadership and citizenship skills can be applied in local community.
  • CWF is for youth ages 15 -19 who are 4-H members or teen leaders.

  • The program takes place at The National 4-H Center in Chevy Chase, Maryland.

  • CWF is a week-long experience; sessions are offered throughout June and July.

  • Program registration costs vary. Nebraska 4-H sends several regional groups each year that spend time visiting additional educational locations on the way to CWF. Contact your local UNL Extension Office for more information regarding upcoming trips.
