Welcome Summer Intern Will!
This week our summer intern, Will, has joined us! You'll be seeing Will in the office and at 4-H events. More about Will:
Welcoming Cora Full Time!
Hi, I’m Cora Rost, and I’m happy to announce that I am transitioning from the Interim to the permanent 4-H Extension Educator for Isanti County.
I was actively involved in Anoka 4-H when I was growing up. My main project areas were photography, horse, and plant science. And I am currently a member of the Minnesota 4-H Photography Project Development Committee. We are working to improve the photography project by upgrading judges' training, creating slideshows & videos, and hosting fun photo challenges for youth.
I love gardening and all things plant science. My career path into informal education started with my degree in Plant Science and minor in Management from the University of Minnesota in St. Paul, MN, where I loved propagating plants in the greenhouses and teaching students about plants. I am also an avid houseplant collector. In my free time I enjoy crocheting hats to donate to local charities, snowshoeing, and kayaking.
I look forward to helping youth discover and strengthen their “sparks” through our programs and hands-on learning experiences.
