Ambassador Program Objectives 

Minnesota 4-H Local Ambassadors are youth in grades 6 through one year past high school who represent a variety of 4-H projects, programs, and groups. Local Ambassadors are role models for other youth involved in 4-H programs and are expected to be positive representatives of 4-H.

As a team, Ambassadors engage as both learners and leaders. They develop skills in leadership, civic engagement, communication, and teamwork, and put those skills into practice by serving as leaders within their local 4-H programs, their communities, and/or within different content areas.

Learning objectives:

• Youth understand, develop, and apply global youth citizenship skills (thinking, communication, understanding self in relation to others, understanding others, and social responsibility).

• Youth develop an understanding of themselves and gain confidence in their leadership, civic engagement, and communication skills.

• Youth understand and promote the breadth and diversity of 4-H as they learn about and share opportunities for themselves and other young people.

Leading objectives:

• Youth apply leadership and civic engagement skills individually and in group settings through their regular meetings, service projects, and promotion opportunities.

• Youth meaningfully contribute to 4-H and the local and global community through teaching, leadership, and civic engagement.

• Youth represent and can share and articulate the 4-H goals and mission with the larger community through formal or informal public speaking events or activities.
