Minnesota 4-H is empowering youth through its Animal Science Youth Leadership Team. This initiative provides young leaders with opportunities to shape 4-H animal science programming while developing valuable leadership skills.
Open to students in grades 8 and above, the program allows participants to plan, implement, and evaluate various animal science activities. Through these experiences, members can explore their interests, enhance their leadership abilities, and contribute to the growth of Minnesota 4-H.
Participants will act as role models, exemplifying the values and mission of the 4-H animal science program. They will also have the chance to connect with like-minded peers, mentors, and industry professionals, creating a supportive network for their personal and professional growth.
The program encompasses a range of project areas, including beef, dairy, dairy goat, meat goat, poultry, rabbit, sheep, swine, and llama-alpaca. This diversity allows participants to focus on their interests while gaining a comprehensive understanding of animal science.
The leadership team requires a one-year commitment from January 2025 to December 2025, providing participants with a full year of meaningful engagement and learning. This initiative is ideal for youth passionate about animal science who are eager to take on a leadership role within their community.
By joining the Minnesota 4-H Animal Science Youth Leadership Team, participants will gain hands-on experience, develop lifelong skills, and contribute positively to the future of agriculture and animal science.
