What Are Local Ambassadors?
Minnesota local 4-H ambassadors are youth in grades 7 through one year past high school who want to make a difference in 4-H and in their community. Local 4-H ambassadors use their skills in leadership, civic engagement, communication and teamwork to promote 4-H, plan events, guide younger youth and serve their communities. Ambassadors are role models for other youth and positively represent 4-H to the community as they work with adult supervisors to provide support to the overall 4-H program in their county.
