2017 Andrea Ruesch Regional 4-H Scholarship Recipients

Worthington, MN 4/16/17- The Minnesota 4-H Foundation and University of Minnesota Extension are pleased to announce the 2017 Andrea Ruesch Regional 4-H Scholarship recipients.

The Andrea Ruesch Scholarship was established in 2010 by the family of Andrea Ruesch, in memory of her dedication and contributions to the Minnesota 4-H program.

Based on the family’s belief in positive youth development, the focus of the scholarship is on demonstrated learning through hands-on experience and using what you have learned to help others through youth leadership.

The scholarship committee announced eleven $1000.00 scholarship recipients.  The Nobles County 4-H recipient is Kyla Fuerstenberg from Wilmont, MN.

The mission of Minnesota 4-H Youth Development is to engage youth, in partnership with adults, in quality learning opportunities that enable them to shape and reach their full potential as active citizens in a global community.  These students exemplify the life and leadership skills we hope all youth have the opportunity to develop.
