Thursday, July 7, 2005 8:22 AM CDT

Six youths have been selected as North Dakota 4-H ambassadors.

They are Heidi Jo Bassen, LaMoure County; Kyle Faught, Cass County; Laura Hall, Walsh County; Allyse Hoge, Griggs County, Paul Lukach, Cavalier County; and Courtney Wolff, Dickey County. They are among 51 4-H ambassadors in the state.

North Dakota 4-H ambassadors are young adults ages 16 to 22 who plan and facilitate 4-H events, workshops, training sessions, regional events and county activities across the state.

Major events they help organize include the annual statewide 4-H Extension Youth Conference, held during the third week of June at North Dakota State University. Another big event is the State Fair in Minot, where the ambassadors help 4-H volunteers and county and state NDSU Extension Service staff with 4-H events.

Ambassador candidates were required to go through a series of interviews and give presentations. The new ambassadors were selected during the Extension Youth Conference.
