Northwest Kansas 4-H Agricultural Ambassador Program

The ambassador program will be a premier leadership opportunity for youth ages 13 to 18 who are passionate about agriculture and are willing to complete a one or two-year term. Participation/membership in 4-H is not required.

 

The program focuses on:

  • Connecting youth with their local agricultural industries
  • Exploring the richness and diversity of Kansas opportunities
  • Developing ag advocacy skills and fostering educational mindsets
  • Increasing access to career and post-secondary experiences within the agriscience world

 

The Northwest Kansas 4-H Agricultural Ambassadors complete training to develop leadership and teamwork skills that are used in promoting and educating communities about agriculture. This includes leading educational experiences for youth and attending ag events, such as the Kansas Youth Ag Experience trip.

 

Youth interested in being a part of the ambassador program must complete the (form fillable) application below, submit a leadership resume, a cover letter, three letters of reference, and complete a virtual interview if selected as a finalist. Applications and supporting documents are due by March 15th and may be submitted to their local extension office.

 

The "Guide to Kansas 4-H Project Recognition" does a great job outlining the creation of a proper leadership resume and cover letter for this process. Please refer to pages 10 & 11 of this guide for guidance, and feel free to connect them with Jenilee Godsey if you have further questions.
