- Learn about agriculture beyond the farm and discover career opportunities they may not have considered.
- Develop and present an interactive presentation about an agriculture career of their choice.
- Share their presentation at their county fair or achievement day.
- Create a recorded version to share through YouTube and the North Dakota 4-H website.
- Work as a team to develop and submit a Lead2Change project to National 4-H focused on improving North Dakota or improving North Dakota through agriculture.
