The mission of the North Carolina 4-H Ambassador 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. We strengthen and expand upon 4-H Ambassadors’ current leadership abilities so that they may serve as positive role models for younger youth; build meaningful partnerships with other teens, adult volunteers, and 4-H professionals; and promote the 4-H mission in North Carolina.
Our vision is that every North Carolina teen 4-H member will have the personal initiative, program resources, and leadership opportunities to be a positive role model and a vocal advocate for the 4-H program in our state.
Basic Premises of the NC 4-H Ambassador Program
- Encourages personal development and service to NC 4-H for teen 4-H members.
- Is based upon an individual teen’s performance towards established standards.
- Is self-based and self-paced
- Documents the teen’s accomplishments through a Personal Leadership Portfolio developed by the Ambassador based upon defined criteria.
