The North Dakota 4-H Foundation raises funds to support 4-H youth programs across the state. An additional 15 4-H supporters and North Dakota State University Extension staff serve on the foundation’s board.

“One of my favorite ads is the National 4-H ad, ‘You’re going to need us,’ which expresses that 4-H is growing the next generation of leaders,” said Peterson, who is marketing and services director with Farm Credit Services of Mandan. “Nothing prepares our youth for careers and leadership like 4-H does, but they can’t do it alone. They need the North Dakota 4-H Foundation to help fund the programs that develop those leadership and communication skills. My passion for this organization is driven by the proven leadership results and our team of board members who help reach our foundation goals.”
