What is a County Ambassador?

A County Ambassador is a representative and champion of the 4-H program in the county.  County Ambassadors act as visible 4-H members - role models for their fellow 4-H members, their county, their state and their world.  Our Sacramento 4-H County Ambassadors will be a youth leadership team that works closely with County Ambassador Coaches to bring opportunities to other 4-H members in our county and gain additional leadership and life skills.

County Ambassador Qualifications

• Between 14-18 years old and meet the 4-H membership requirements for the length of the term of service.  On the first day of the appointment to County Ambassador, applicant must be at least 14 years old.
• Applicant must have completed at least one year of membership in 4-H prior to the year of application.  Membership doesn't not have to be the most recent consecutive year.
• Applicant must have demonstrated leadership experience and skills.  To ensure that the position of County Ambassador is open to all 4-H members in all program delivery modes, a member must document the following:
  • Master of a project with at least 6 hours of project instructions (club projects, Cooking Academy, YES project, 4-H Resident Camp, On the Wild Side project).
  • Significant leadership roles either inside or outside of 4-H.
