4-H ONTARIO IS 100 YEARS OLD!

2015 is a big year for 4-H in Ontario, it is the 100th anniversary

 

2015 is also the the 10th anniversary of the 4-H Ontario ambassador program.

 

The ambassador program provides youth with advanced training in leadership, citizenship, communications and public relations. 4-H Ontario Ambassadors channel their energy and 4-H experiences into recruiting new members, representing 4-H Ontario youth at functions, and sharing the 4-H story. for more info about the ambassador program check out the 4-H Ontario website here.

This year the ambassadors are Ava Doner, Cailen Bromley, Laura Scott, Gina Posthumus, Olivia Bolender and myself.

As 4-H ambassadors we have the privilege of promoting the 4-H program by attending 4-H and community events across the province, with a chance of attending national and International opportunities that might become available. 

At the end of Feb I went to Guelph for the Ambassador Training weekend Reception. 

The training took place at the 4-H Ontario office in Rockwood, with the reception held Saturday night at the Holiday Inn in Guelph. 




The next thing on my agenda was a teleconference with the my fellow ambassadors and our staff contact at 4-H, We received Updates from 4-H and discussed ideas to help us during our year as ambassador.


I looking forward to attending many events as throughout Ontario to promote the great program has to to offer.
