A competitive application and selection process will determine the 4-H Military Partnership Leadership Academy participants. 

Prior approval from supervisors confirming support for the time and travel requirements is required for all selected participants. Participants are expected to attend all training sessions.
 
Travel expenses and course materials for the 4-HMPLA will be provided by the Children, Youth, and Families at Risk (CYFAR) 4-H Military Partnership Professional Development and Technical Assistance Program grant at no cost to participants. 
 
To support your application process we have provided a PDF to review the application information. Review this information first so that you are prepared to complete the Google form to apply for the leadership academy. Please ensure you have received prior approval from your supervisor before submitting an application.  Additionally,  check your calendar to ensure you can fully participate in all the required virtual and in-person sessions.
