4-H Ambassadors

What is a Montana 4-H Ambassador?
A 4-H Ambassador is an official envoy, an authorized representative of our Montana 4-H Program. A 4-H Ambassador is a self motivated, enthusiastic leader who promotes 4-H using the skill, knowledge and leadership abilities acquired in 4-H with fellow members, area residents, community leaders, elected officials and non 4-H youth. A 4-H Ambassador serves to strengthen the 4-H program through public relations.

Montana State 4-H Ambassador Program
Outstanding 4-H members are chosen from each county throughout the state. The county 4-H Ambassadors will have the opportunity to serve on both the district and state level as officers. Thus, opportunity to extend their service beyond the county level is available. Application to the Ambassador program is made at the county level by completion of an application form and submitting to an interview by the County Council, or designated individuals. The Ambassadors are chosen to represent their county for a period of two years. The first year they are recognized as the Junior Ambassador and the second year as the Senior Ambassador.

While only the Junior Ambassador and the Senior Ambassador are officially recognized by the state, there may be two or more Prospective Ambassadors who receive training and serve in local roles similar to that of the Junior and Senior Ambassadors.
