You can now submit your applications to attend American Spirit 2027!
There are a few changes for the American Spirit Experience this year. The program will be shortened from 10 days to 7 days in an attempt to make the program more affordable and sustainable for our staff and volunteers. There will only be one week of travel (June 25-July 3) in 2027. Finally, only grades 9-10 will be eligible for the program.
The 4-H American Spirit Experience is an opportunity for youth to immerse themselves in history and heritage through a 10-day bus journey to the East Coast. This program will also focus on career readiness, leadership development, and experiential learning around history and civics, with an emphasis on diversity and the challenges that different groups of people have faced.
Applications are open in 4HOnline and close on November 30, 2026.
