Texas 4-H Roundup

The Texas 4-H Roundup represents the culmination of a year's worth of hard work and dedication by 4-H members. Its purpose is to complement the county 4-H program and offer educational experiences in various fields, including Agriculture & Livestock, Family & Community Health, Leadership & Citizenship, Natural Resources, and STEM. Texas 4-H is dedicated to its mission of preparing youth for the challenges of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood through a coordinated, progressive series of educational activities that enhance life skills and foster social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Annually, competitions are held at the county, district, and state levels to assess the skills and knowledge acquired by 4-H members. This event attracts over 3,000 youth and adults and features approximately 50 competitive events. Some of these contests require individuals or teams to qualify at the county and district levels before advancing to the state level. Additionally, the Texas 4-H Roundup offers invitational contests that Senior-level (9th-12th grade) 4-H members can participate in, even without qualifying. For those 4-H members and adults interested in non-competitive opportunities, there are options like the College/Career Fair and various educational workshops that run alongside the Texas 4-H Roundup.
