Take the Next Step: Become a Tennessee 4-H All Star!

Being a member of 4-H Honor Club can open the door to even more leadership, service, and travel opportunities through Tennessee 4-H All Stars!

Tennessee 4-H All Stars is the second level of recognition in the Tennessee 4-H program, following Honor Club. All Stars brings together dedicated 4-H members who want to continue developing their leadership skills while making a difference in their communities.

The All Star motto is simple but powerful:

SERVICE

All Stars live out this motto through individual and group service projects at the county, regional, and state levels. Along the way, members build friendships with other 4-H’ers from across Tennessee, strengthen their leadership skills, and have opportunities to attend special conferences and events.

To be considered for Tennessee 4-H All Star membership, youth must:

  • Be an active 4-H member
  • Have completed the 8th grade
  • Be a member of the Tennessee 4-H Honor Club
  • Demonstrate outstanding leadership ability
  • Demonstrate commendable character
  • Complete above-average 4-H project work
  • Show a willingness to serve others

The first three requirements are required for All Star membership.

The All Star application is included as the final page of the Honor Club application, so Honor Club members can begin working toward this next level of recognition as they continue their 4-H journey.

All Stars are encouraged to look for ways they can make a difference in their communities through meaningful service.

Service opportunities may take place at the county, regional, or state level and allow members to identify community needs, plan and complete projects, work with others, and reflect on the impact of their service.

All Star groups can even receive statewide recognition for their service through awards such as the Don Bowman Project Award and Peggy Davis Service Award.

One of the best parts of becoming a Tennessee 4-H All Star is the opportunity to participate in special conferences, trips, service projects, and leadership experiences with other 4-H members from across East Tennessee and the state!

All Star events are designed to bring members together for service, leadership, fellowship, personal growth, and fun. These experiences are also a great way to meet other 4-H members and make friendships that extend beyond your county.

Tennessee 4-H Roundup is one of the premier experiences for high school 4-H members in Tennessee, and active All Stars have the opportunity to attend!

In 2027, Roundup is coming to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, giving Sevier County members an exciting opportunity to experience a statewide 4-H event close to home.

Throughout the week, participants may take part in:

  • Leadership activities
  • Community service
  • Educational sessions and workshops
  • Career and college exploration
  • All Star activities
  • All Star Assembly and Dinner
  • All Star Ceremony and Campfire
  • Awards and recognition
  • State 4-H Council activities
  • Dances and social activities
  • Opportunities to meet 4-H members from across Tennessee

Roundup is also where Tennessee 4-H recognizes some of its highest-achieving members. Scholarships are presented, State 4-H Council leadership is celebrated, and the prestigious Vol State Award—the highest level of recognition a Tennessee 4-H member can receive—is presented.

You don’t have to be a state project finalist to experience Roundup!

Active Tennessee 4-H All Stars are eligible to attend the State 4-H All Star Conference held in conjunction with Roundup.

All Stars attending Roundup have special opportunities throughout the week, including service activities, All Star meetings, the All Star Assembly and Dinner, the traditional All Star Ceremony and Campfire, and other statewide activities.

Active All Stars can also participate in the All Star Project Exhibit Competition, giving members another opportunity to showcase their 4-H project work.

All Star conferences aren’t just trips—they’re an opportunity to become more involved in 4-H beyond the county level.

By participating in All Star events, members can:

  • Meet 4-H members from across East Tennessee and the state
  • Participate in meaningful community service
  • Strengthen leadership and communication skills
  • Build friendships and connections
  • Experience regional and state 4-H traditions
  • Explore leadership positions within the All Star program
  • Represent Sevier County 4-H
  • Make memories that last long after 4-H

Your 4-H experience doesn’t have to stop at the county line. Becoming an All Star can open the door to leadership, service, travel, and friendships across Tennessee!

Want to take your leadership experience even further?

All Stars have opportunities to pursue regional and state leadership positions.

Each Tennessee 4-H region elects youth officers to help lead its All Star program. Regional and state All Star leaders come together through the All Star High Council, where they help guide the organization, discuss All Star programming, establish service priorities, strengthen their leadership skills, and represent fellow 4-H members.

These positions give members an opportunity to go beyond participating and take an active role in leading Tennessee 4-H!

Becoming a Tennessee 4-H All Star gives members the opportunity to:

  • Give back to their community through meaningful service
  • Attend regional and state conferences
  • Meet 4-H members from across East Tennessee and the state
  • Build leadership and communication skills
  • Participate in special All Star activities
  • Pursue regional and state leadership positions
  • Receive recognition for outstanding service
  • Continue growing within the Tennessee 4-H recognition program
  • Make friendships and memories that last well beyond 4-H
