4-H Ag Ambassadors Program
March 11 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Who: This program is for all º£½ÇÉçÇø youth ages 14-18.
°Â³ó²¹³Ù:Ìýº£½ÇÉçÇø 4-H is launching a new session cohort for interested eligible youth for the º£½ÇÉçÇø 4-H Agricultural Ambassadors program! The program is designed for youth ages 14-18 who are interested in any aspect of agriculture. Youth spend time getting to know each other and learn both online and in-person in sessions facilitated by Uº£½ÇÉçÇø 4-H Staff and community partners. Sessions will focus on career exploration, exploring the º£½ÇÉçÇø Food System with farm and production visits around the state, and building relationships with industry professionals.
This season we will visit local º£½ÇÉçÇø Ag businesses like Libby Maple, Yeti Ridge Farm and more. Transportation assistance for these events may be available upon request.
In addition to the multi-week session, youth will serve in their ambassador role for at least 1 year. Youth will pick an agricultural area to focus on (ex. livestock, ag literacy/food systems, environmental stewardship, Ag and health) during their term and explore leadership opportunities locally, statewide, and even nationally.
Transportation assistance may be available upon request.
