Krista Burkman of Brandon, S.D., is one of 27 4-H youth who were selected to serve as a Minnesota 4-H State Ambassador.
Ambassadors are youth leaders and spokespeople for the statewide organization.
Selection as an ambassador is one of the highest honors that a 4-H member can achieve.
“As a state ambassador for the coming (4-H) year, some of my goals are to improve my leadership skills, meet new people, learn a lot about myself, make an impact in the lives of others, and be a good role model for state ambassadors that are yet to come,” Burkman said.
She is a member of Rock County’s Springdell 4-H club and is a junior at Brandon Valley High School. She is the daughter of John Burkman and Kris Burkman.
The ambassador team plans and facilitates various 4-H activities including supporting the Minnesota State Fair, hosting statewide leadership events and sharing their story with the general public.
