So what is a 4-H Ambassador?

A 4-H ambassador is a motivated youth, who is 14-19 years of age, enrolled in the 4-H program, has a minimum GPA of  2.5, and has served as a club officer or Teen Leader in their county 4-H.  Being a 4-H Teen Ambassador is a rewarding experience!   These youth improve their public speaking skills, confidence and independence, becoming great leaders in our society! They get to meet other 4-H teens from across the state and form lasting friendships  as they attend state 4-H events such as State 4-H Leaders Forum, 4-H Rec Labs, State Fall Ambassador Training and State 4-H Congress.   They help other youth in the 4-H program with projects, workshops and club events. That is what your Carbon County Ambassador Team is doing:   The 4-H Ambassador team includes Megan Sweeney of Boyd, Teal & Kenyon Hatten of Boyd, Max Erickson of Red Lodge and Tel Daniels of Joliet.  Megan and Teal both have served on the Ambassador team for the last four years and will be moving on to college in the fall. Both these young women should be congratulated for their enthusiasm and constant support of the 4-H program in Carbon County.
 
During the 4-H year, these ambassadors have put in hundreds of hours of volunteer time each, promoting and assisting with 4-H programs on the county and state levels. Some of the fall activities include: traveling Carbon County educating elementary students about the 4-H program, teaching a Cloverbud workshop, assisting with the county 4-H Awards Banquet and attending Fall Ambassador Training in Fairmont Hot Springs.  The Ambassador program is supported by their annual Christmas wreath sale and the Carbon County 4-H Council. 
          
The ambassadors welcome opportunities to visit clubs and organizations to fill you in on the 4-H experience!   If you would like more information on the 4-H Ambassador Program contact Key Leader Shirley Erickson @ 446-3239 or the Carbon County Extension Office @ 962-3522.
