4-H Advisory Council
The purpose of the Sedgwick County 4-H Advisory Council is to be a nonprofit organization, utilizing private resources, to support and promote Sedgwick County 4-H youth achievements in the areas of leadership, education, citizenship, personal development and their related activities.
There are four standing committees that function throughout the year and their duties include but are not limited to:

This includes promotion to the clubs and encouraging club booth participation, coordinating Chris and Crystal Clover, pre-ticket sales, room arrangement, atmosphere, ticket sales the night of the carnival, counting money and tickets, and preparation of balance sheet.
