The ambassador program is a premier leadership opportunity for youth ages 13 to 18 (current 8th grade through senior in high school) passionate about agriculture and willing to complete a one-year term.

The program focuses on connecting youth with their local agricultural industries, exploring the richness and diversity of Kansas opportunities, developing ag advocacy skills and fostering educational mindsets, and increasing access to career and post-secondary experiences within the agriscience world.

Participation/membership in 4-H is not required.

The Northwest Kansas 4-H Agricultural Ambassadors complete training to develop leadership and teamwork skills used to promote and educate communities about agriculture. This includes leading educational experiences for youth and attending ag events, such as the Kansas Youth Ag Experience trip.

Youth interested in being a part of the ambassador program must complete an application, submit a leadership resume, a cover letter, three letters of reference, and complete a virtual interview if selected as a finalist. Applications and supporting documents are due by January 15th and may be submitted to your local K-State Research and Extension office.
