The mission of the North Carolina 4-H Program is to empower teen 4-H leaders with the knowledge, skills and aspirations necessary to be effective advocates for NC 4-H Youth Development. In other words you will serve as positive role models for younger youth, build meaningful partnership with other teens and adult volunteer leaders, while promoting 4-H in North Carolina.
How might you go about doing that you ask? Another great question.
To apply to be an ambassador, a 4-H member must be at least 14 years old and have been a member for 2 years as of January 1.
You will go through a series of workshops to move up to different levels. There are 4 levels that start at bronze and go through emerald.
You can only do one level per year and it is suggested not taking more than 2 years to complete a level.
Each level requires attendance at core workshops, and a minimum number of elective workshop or activity hours. To learn more about the requirements please click this link.
Twice a year (June and November) you have the opportunity to turn in the required portfolio demonstrating your work to be awarded that level and move up to the next level. To learn more about the overall program and how you can make it work check this out: https://nc4h.ces.ncsu.edu/
Well that sounds great but how do I attend workshops? Thanks to COVID this opportunity is now virtual. You have the chance to sign up and attend workshops in the comfort of your home. To register (by the February 15 deadline) please go to https://forms.gle/
Wait! My parents want to know how much this costs? It is free. It will just take your time, and dedication to get it done. It is self paced so you set your goal and schedule to make it happen.
P.S. This also looks good on the 4-H Honor Club application, if you want to know more about that please contact Ms. Shea Ann or Ms. Wendy at sadejarn@ncsu.edu or wrmaynor@ncsu.edu.
