State 4-H Ambassadors continue to make the best better |
Oklahoma 4-H’ers looking to further develop the life skills they have learned in 4-H should consider applying to become a State 4-H Ambassador. For more than a quarter of a century, club members have been serving as ambassadors to the Oklahoma 4-H Youth Development program, and continuing to make the best better.
Cathy Allen, 4-H curriculum coordinator at the State 4-H Office at Oklahoma State University said applications to be part of this select group are due March 15. Applicants must be 13 years of age or older by the application deadline and have at least one year of high school remaining.
“Ambassadors have a unique role within 4-H as they serve dual roles in working with club members, as well as adult partners. They make 4-H more visible in their counties and across the state, maintain relationships with 4-H alumni and supporters and help club members tell the 4-H story,” Allen said. “Our ambassadors this last year were involved in a variety of activities that not only enhanced the 4-H program overall, but also helped them build upon the life skills they had already started developing.”
