4-H Hall of Fame
The purpose of the North Dakota 4-H Hall of Fame is to honor and preserve
the memory of those individuals, clubs, sponsors, leaders and others who
have contributed in a very outstanding and positive way to the North Dakota
4-H program.
Nominations are accepted at any time. However, to be considered for
the current year,
nominations must be received by the 4-H Foundation by March 1.

recognized with a plaque in the Hall of Fame, a gift, and a special ceremony
during the Extension Youth Conference banquet each June.
