Mission of Virginia Congress Across the Commonwealth The Mission of Congress Across the Commonwealth is to provide competitive and non-competitive educational experiences to Virginia teens and the adults who work with them, helping them to develop life skills and leadership abilities to become contributing citizens in their communities.

Goals of Congress Across the Commonwealth

1. Provide a high-quality educational experience using a virtual platform for 4-H youth ages 14-18;

2. Promote 4-H as a major statewide educational youth program; 3. Provide educational and social experiences for youth that would not normally be

available at the unit or district level; 4. Enhance skill development through all Congress Across the Commonwealth activities; 5. Recognize competition and award winners; 6. Promote an understanding of the value of diversity among Congress participants; and 7. Enhance each delegate’s sense of personal and social responsibility through a virtual

environment that fosters independence, accountability, leadership, decision-making, and time management.

Format for 2020

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, this year’s Congress will be very different than normal. However, we are still going to have a wonderful event that all 4-H’ers can enjoy! Virtual Platform Instead of traveling to the campus of Virginia Tech, Congress Across the Commonwealth will utilize a platform provided by TEAMTRI that will enable you to connect with your peers around the state, participate in fun events and challenges, take part in educational workshops, and have access to over 200 hours of leadership development workshops you can complete at your own pace!

Our virtual platform is mobile friendly for any desktop/laptop, tablet, or smart phone! Keeping All the Things You Love About Congress Just because we are moving to a virtual format, doesn’t mean you’ll miss out on your favorite aspects of Congress. We will still be featuring:

• Live opening ceremony • Weekly events and activities • State 4-H Cabinet Elections • Educational workshops

3

• State-level competitions • Share the Fun Show • Award ceremony and officer installations

Dates / Times We surveyed 4-H’ers from around Virginia to learn what kind of a Congress experience you wanted in this new format. We received lots of feedback from past Congress participants who told us that they didn’t want to have to sit in front of a screen all day, that they wanted things to look forward to, and that they wanted the ability to work at their own pace. To accommodate this, Congress Across the Commonwealth will take place from July 1 – 31, 2020. But, don’t panic! We aren’t going to be doing activities all-day everyday for an entire month! You will have access to our virtual platform the entire time to do work at your own pace. We will be offering live events or workshops at least once per week. If you can’t participate at that time, everything will be recorded and you can watch whenever you get the chance. We will be offering an average of 1-2 hours of live programming each week through the month of July.

Workshops Each Tuesday at 10:30 AM we will offer one live workshop. Each week the workshop will focus on a different 4-H pillar area: Agriculture, Civic Engagement, Healthy Living, or STEM. Workshop are as follows: Tuesday, July 7, 2020; 10:30 AM

State 4-H Congress Competition Policies and Guidelines 1. Participants have a responsibility to review the rules, resource documents, and score sheets which

can be found on the state 4-H website at http://ext.vt.edu/topics/4hyouth/competitions/index.html.

2. State contests will use the rules, score sheets, etc. posted only on the competition’s web page listed above, regardless of how qualifying county and district contests are run. Local units and districts are encouraged to adopt and abide by the state rules out of fairness to youth participants. For contests in which there is a national event, contestants should check the national rules for any differences at that level of competition.

3. 4-H Congress (and therefore state level competition at Congress) participation is limited to senior age 4-H youth, those ages 14-19 as of September 30 of the 4-H year. Mixed-age acts that competed at the unit or district level will be ineligible at the state level. (Example: four young people in a Share-the-Fun act where at least one is age 13 or less would not qualify.)

4. For this year, participating in qualifying event is not mandatory. It is HIGHLY recommended

that all participants meet and work with their county/city agent on preparing and finalizing their presentation.

5. A list of sample topics is provided for additional information only. Participants are not limited on

subjects, but do have to fit into one of the above categories. Contestants should be prepared to show judges the connection/correlation to the category area. Judges’ or contest managers’ decisions are final.

6. Competition scoring will follow the Danish Awards System (Blue: 90-100; Red: 75-89; White: 74 and below). Overall high score blue ribbon winner in each category will receive a medal. Modifications have been made for competition categories where the total score is greater than 100 points.

7. A 4-H member can participate in only one competitive event during Virtual Congress even if

he/she qualified in more than one contest at previous levels of competition.

8. A unit may send more than one participant in all competition areas for 2020 Virtual Congress. For example, a unit may send more than one 4-Her to compete in public speaking, fashion revue, presentations, etc. Check specific team contest rules for the number of teams and the number of participants on a team allowed in state competitions.

9. Once a youth is the overall state winner in a competition category, he/she cannot compete in that

category again at the state level. For instance, if a youth is the overall winner in vocal, he/she cannot compete in vocal again, but could compete in another category such as instrumental, variety, forestry, or foods, etc. State medal winners should not repurpose their act in order to try to fit into another category in another year.

10. State competition contestants must register for Congress Across the Commonwealth in order to

compete. Pre-registration is required; see Congress information for deadlines.

11. For 2020, all competitions will take place in a virtual format. Additional information or supplemental rules for each competition may be sent at a later time.

CHARACTER COUNTS!SM at Congress

TRUSTWORTHINESS, RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, FAIRNESS, CARING, AND CITIZENSHIP — these six core ethical values, which the CHARACTER COUNTS!SM program calls "Pillars of Character," provides the basis for what Virginia 4-H stands for and what each member, leader and staff member should strive to practice. These six Pillars should guide all Congress participants’ thoughts and conduct. These core beliefs help us to distinguish right from wrong. Additionally, the principles represented by these six pillars act as filters through which to make decisions. So, being trustworthy is not enough — we must also be caring. Adhering to the letter of the law is not enough — we must accept responsibility for our actions. In holding others to be accountable - we must not forget to be compassionate. Character really does count! In personal relationships, at school, at the workplace, at Congress Across the Commonwealth – in life – who you are makes a difference. Character is not hereditary, nor does it develop automatically; you must consciously develop it. So, while you are participating in Congress Across the Commonwealth and even after the event is finished, put your head, heart, hands and health into living by the Six Pillars of CharacterSM and the principles they represent. • Trustworthiness - Be honest - Keep promises - Be loyal • Caring - Be kind - Express gratitude - Forgive others • Respect - Follow the Golden Rule - Be tolerant of differences - Deal peacefully with anger, insults and

disagreements

Fairness - Play by the rules - Take turns and share - Be open-minded • Citizenship - Obey laws and rules - Respect authority - Protect the environment • Responsibility - Do what you are supposed to do - Pursue excellence - Be self-disciplined CHARACTER COUNTS!SM is a service mark of the CHARACTER COUNTS!SM Coalition, a project of the Josephson Institute of Ethics
