This year's Extension Youth Conference will be held June 20-23 at North Dakota State University in Fargo.
The conference is open to any young person who has completed seventh through 12th grade. Participants do not need to be a 4-H member to attend.
Nearly 100 participants from throughout North Dakota attend the annual event.
The conference energizes North Dakota youth and empowers them with the tools necessary to develop leadership skills, learn about career paths, and form partnerships and friendships with youth from diverse backgrounds, as well as volunteers and NDSU Extension Service staff.
"Fiesta" is the theme of this year's conference. Delegates will have the opportunity to engage in leadership and educational workshops, team-building events, volunteering opportunities, water games and a banquet, and hear from keynote speakers.
The registration fee is $175. That includes all meals from Monday evening through Thursday brunch, overnight housing, an event T-shirt and a photograph of all the attending delegates. Participants who take advantage of the conference bus system will need to pay an additional $50.
Youth who want more information or are interested in attending the conference should contact their local Extension office or the Center for 4-H Youth Development at (701) 231-7251 or NDSU.4-H@ndsu.edu.
The North Dakota 4-H Foundation, North Dakota 4-H Ambassadors, NDSU Extension Service, Dacotah Bank and North Dakota Soybean Council are sponsoring this year's conference.
