Kansas State 4-H Ambassador Training
Kansas 4-H Ambassador Training will not be scheduled for 2024. With the small crowd we have had in the last two years (38 youth in 2022 and 40 in 2023) and so few local units with 4-H Ambassador Programs, this gives Kansas 4-H and the new Communication and Expressive Arts Project Partnership Team a chance to set goals, prioritize and make the best decisions about using limited resources to make the biggest impact for Kansas 4-H.
If you desire to have training for local 4-H Ambassadors, here are a few suggestions:
- Include shorter communication skill trainings in each one of your 4-H Ambassador Meetings. This could be facilitated by advisors, alumni, or local communication professionals.
- Assign a different 4-H Ambassador to teach a 4-H Communication Curriculum lesson at each meeting. This is also a Youth Development Signature Program.
- Work with nearby Extension Units to offer training for a multi-unit group training.
- Encourage your 4-H Ambassadors to take part in other Kansas 4-H Events and opportunities that offer communication training options, i.e., Shutterbug events, 4-H Discovery Days, Discover You Future Program, etc.
If there are individuals who are interested in serving on a Project Partnership Team to help with moving things forward for Kansas 4-H, they are encouraged to submit their application by the deadline of November 1.
