Oregon 4-H Ambassadors
Challenge yourself to explore and build leadership skills! The Oregon 4-H Ambassador program has two levels: County and State. 4-H County Ambassadors are outstanding 8th-12th grade members. Please contact your local 4-H program for more information including requirements and job responsibilities.
The State 4-H State Ambassador team is a group of 10-20 outstanding Oregon 4-H youth. 4-H youth in the 9th-12th grades who are interested in rewarding experiences and opportunities to develop their leadership skills can apply.
Ambassador applications are due in the Oregon State 4-H office by March 1. Applicants are interviewed at 4-H Summer Conference in June and the selection is announced.
For more information on the State Ambassador program, please review these resources and contact Roberta Lundeberg.
