(NMC) — Alyssa Attao of Northern Marianas College’s Cooperative Research, Extension, and Education Services will serve as the CNMI’s 4-H Positive Youth Development Champion at the regional level.
Attao will collaborate with a network of professionals across the nation to strengthen capacity among 4-H staff and volunteers, with a particular focus on onboarding new team members. Her selection was confirmed by Jenny Murray of West Virginia University, a 4-H PYD Champion Network Facilitator.
