Kaiya Novacek Selected to Represent Minnesota 4-H at 2017 National 4-H Conference

Minnesota will be represented by an outstanding group of 4-H’ers at the 2017 National 4-H Conference in Washington, D.C. on March 25-30, 2017. The Minnesota 4-H delegation includes: Haley Carr (Houston), Agusta Grams (Renville), Rachel Meany (Mower), Kaiya Novacek (Roseau), Daniel Ukkelerg (West Ottertail).

The annual National 4-H Conference – administered by 4-H National Headquarters of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture within the U.S. Department of Agriculture – empowers youth to become well-informed citizens and social change agents who are actively engaged in their communities and the world. 4-H youth delegates have an opportunity to explore complex public issues and possible solutions through research and dialogue. The delegates choose an important societal topic and prepare a briefing working in round-table groups. During the conference, the groups present their briefing to federal officials around the Washington, D.C. area. Delegates also participate in a “Taking it Home” Community Action Plan process that helps them take what they learn at the conference and use it to address an issue back in their home communities.
