Four youth were selected to join the North Dakota 4-H Ambassadors team during the Extension Youth Conference in June.

The new team members, the county where they live and the school they attend are:

• Justin Hylden, Walsh County, Park River High School
• Natalie Laubner, Morton County, Mandan High School
• Jared Nelson, Walsh County, Park River High School
• Shelly Pherson, Sargent County, Sargent High School

The North Dakota State 4-H Ambassadors is a group of young adults from across the state who are actively involved in 4-H. They coordinate many activities that teach youth and adults about topics such as leadership, team work and citizenship.

They specialize in planning and facilitating 4-H events, such as the annual statewide Extension Youth Conference at North Dakota State University, workshops, training sessions and regional events. They strive to create events that are fun, educational and skill building, and promote self-improvement. They also are active volunteers for 4-H programs in every North Dakota county.
