Meet our Summer Intern
Hello! I am Alana Mangan, currently a freshman at the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota, and I am studying English Education. I have been involved in 4-H since I was in fourth grade and have enjoyed creating projects, showing swine and poultry, and holding different leadership roles over the years. This summer I am looking forward to planning fun and engaging experiences for the youth of our community and learning alongside all the 4-Hers. This experience will help me grow as a future educator and will allow me the opportunity to know my community more!
Alana will be starting in early May and working through the summer. Please help us welcome her.
