4-H Online enrollment open for 2025-26 4-H year.
The Dakota County 4-H Ambassador program is open to youth in grades 6-13, who enjoy volunteering and working with younger members. The ambassador program is a great way to share your leadership skills while helping your community. It allows youth to take part in activities to help them become leaders and good citizens. A 4-H ambassador is an enthusiastic leader who promotes the organization using the skills, knowledge, and leadership abilities acquired in 4-H.
If you go to the "Great Minnesota Get-Together," be sure to participate in fun and educational University of Minnesota Extension activities.
