Congress in the fall. The Junior Leaders spend the day in a leadership program which emphasizes teamwork, leadership, self-esteem, responsibility, and communication. In 1996, Indiana became the first state in the country to have a 4-H license plate through the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. A percentage of the contribution for each plate is returned to the counties for local 4-H programs. Environmental Conservation Workshop DowElanco provides partial funding for the workshop held each summer as part of the 4-H science workshops.
