We are the North Dakota State 4-H Ambassadors!
Our
team consists of young adults from across North
Dakota who are actively involved in 4-H. The
Ambassadors coordinate many activities which involve
teaching youth and adults about topics such as
leadership, team work, citizenship, and much more.
We look forward to sharing our knowledge, skills,
talents and resources with 4-Hers across North
Dakota.
As North Dakota 4-H
Ambassadors, we specialize in planning and
facilitating 4-H events such as the annual statewide
4-H Extension Youth Conference, workshops, training
sessions, regional events, and countless other
activities. We strive to create events that are fun,
educational, skill building, and promote
self-improvement, and we endeavor to be active
volunteers for 4-H programs in every county of North
Dakota.
Please feel free to contact a 4-H Ambassador in your
area, or one who specializes in a specific project
area. If you have
questions or would like to request our services,
please call 701-231-7251 or email us at the Center for 4-H
NDSU.4-H@ndsu.edu
We hope to
hear from you soon!
What is the North Dakota
4-H Ambassador Program and what do they do? The Ambassadors are a group
of young adults ages 16 to 22 who work to help North Dakota 4-H. The
Ambassadors do many things. Here is a list of the duties projects of the
Ambassadors set forth in the Constitution of the North Dakota 4-H
Ambassadors, Article II, Section I.
- Enhance and promote the
North Dakota 4-H Youth program with state and county Extension staff and
4-H volunteers.
- Assist in the planning of
statewide 4-H volunteers.
- Improve the 4-H youth
program through promoting leadership.
- Act as an advisor for 4-H
youth ideas and concerns.
- Create awareness of
opportunities for older youth in 4-H.
- Promote 4-H and 4-H
Ambassadors to all people.
- Assist in the organization
and operation of county youth/adult councils.
- Inform older 4-H youth of
current leadership methods.
- Plan and conduct workshops
for older youth in accordance with interest and needs.
- Assist in the planning and
organizing of the North Dakota State Extension Youth Conference, and
other state functions.
- Provide 4-H Ambassadors as
resource people throughout the state by county or individual request.
Whew! That seems like a lot
of work! What it doesn't say is that all of that work is worth it. There
are many different activities within the Ambassador program, including
working at the North Dakota State Fair, organizing and presenting the ND
State Extension Youth Conference, playing games, learning about yourself
and those around you, volunteering, attending planning retreats,
traveling, and much more. You will make many new friends and renew some
old friendships. Most of all, you will be having fun while learning and
experiencing new things and taking advantage of new opportunities while
working for the common cause of North Dakota 4-H.
