4-H Ambassadors (click here)
The Georgia
4-H Ambassador
program is for high school 4-H'ers and adults interested in being part
of a team trained in specific issues. 4-H Ambassadors select from
the issues offered, participate in a dynamic, intense training weekend,
plan individual activities to share their knowledge and represent
Georgia
4-H as ambassadors in the field. The inaugural program in 2005
boasted
more than 30 youth working in their communities to make the best better.
4-H
Ambassadors are making a one year commitment to the program which
includes
the training weekend (August 7-8), individualized course of
study, quarterly reports and self directed learning, individualized
plans
for sharing their knowledge.
4-H'ers may
serve as ambassadors
in one area per year and may be eligible to return as an ambassador in
the same issue or in a new issue in following years. 2008
Ambassadors
in good standing may complete a renewal application to return in the
same
area. Returning Ambassadors will not participate in the training
weekend unless they are transfering to another knowledge track.
This
year's Ambassador
tracks are: Health Rocks, Global Programs, SET (Science, Engineering
& Techonology) and Operational Military Kids
Special
Note: Health
Rocks Ambassadors must apply in teams of two youth and one adult.
Ideally,
these team members are from the same county. Applications should be
submitted
together.
