Who are 4-H Ambassadors?
4-H Ambassadors are youth leaders, grades 6th and up, who work together to promote their local 4-H program and improve their communities. Along the way, “Ambies” engage in learning and leadership through service, promotion, education, and recreation. Ambies are role models, global citizens, and positive representatives of themselves, their great community, and the 4-H program.
