County 4-H Ambassador

The State has changed their 4-H All-Star program over to County and State Level 4-H Ambassadors.

What Is a County Ambassador?
A County Ambassador is the representative and champion of the 4-H program in the county. While no two County Ambassador programs are identical, they follow the same guidelines, provide similar opportunities and have the same learning goals.

All County Ambassadors are highly encouraged to attend and participate in the 4-H State Leadership Conference, 4-H area conferences, as well as serve on statewide committees or the Statewide Management Board and participate in other activities or events beyond the county level. These experiences help expand leadership skills and are beneficial for those wishing to go on to become a State Ambassador.

The Selection of Ambassador

Requirements that will need to be met to complete your Ambassador Role:

County Ambassadors act as visible 4-H members - role models for their fellow 4-H members, their county, their state and their world.

What Recognitions Distinguish County Ambassadors from Other 4-Hers?

County Ambassadors stand out among other 4-Hers because of special attire such as:
* County Ambassador Star Rank patch (hat) or the Star Rank pin (lanyard), earned upon appointment and worn during years of service.
* County-specific County Ambassador uniform (usually a special jacket, polo shirt and/or nametag). The attire for each county varies and often can be decided upon each year by the County Ambassador team.

County Ambassador teams will develop an Ambassador Project that includes a Plan of Action for their term. This plan will help the team stay focused on common goal throughout the year. For teams that have two year terms, it is recommended that a new plan is developed for each year of service.
