SUMMARY:4-H Page Day in Augusta
DESCRIPTION:On March 25\, 2026  in Augusta\, Youth Agriculture Policy Day coincides with Maine Ag Day\, an annual celebration honoring the dedication and impact of Maine’s farmers\, producers\, and agricultural community. It’s also a time for youth to get actively involved in their democracy\, to see how and who makes decisions that impact our state\, and to be involved in that process themselves.  \nRegistered 4-Hers age 13 or older are encouraged to serve as Honorary Pages in the Maine House or the Senate on Youth Agriculture Policy Day\, March 25th\, 2026. The Maine 4-H program has up to 20 slots for Honorary Pages and registration is first come\, first serve with a registration deadline of Saturday\, March 14. \nWhat does a page do? Legislators are constantly communicating and making decisions while in session and pages make that communication possible. Pages hand out information packets or place the paper information on their desks. Pages will also run communication and documents directly from legislator to legislator. It’s fast paced and pages will be moving around the chambers quite a bit\, taking direction from the Clerks. We will meet at 8:30 for pictures and an orientation. Then at 9:00am we will divide our group with one going to the House and the other to the Senate where each group will receive their instructions. The session will begin by 10:00am and will likely conclude around 12:30pm\, but the timing is never certain. Lunch will be on your own. \nIf you have questions or would like to request an accommodation please contact Kristy Ouellette at kristy.ouellette@maine.edu. Thank you.

SUMMARY:Maine 4-H Ag Ambassadors
DESCRIPTION:The program is designed for youth ages 14-18 who are interested in any aspect of agriculture.  Youth spend time getting to know each other and learn both online and in-person in sessions facilitated by UMaine 4-H Staff and community partners. Sessions will focus on career exploration\, exploring the Maine Food System with farm and production visits around the state\, and building relationships with industry professionals. \nThis season we will visit local Maine Ag businesses like Mook Sea Farm and Aquaculture and the anaerobic digester at Stonyvale Farm (one of the largest in the US!). Check them both out!  Transportation assistance for these events may be available upon request. \nIn addition to the multi-week session\, youth will serve in their ambassador role with Maine 4-H for at least 1 year. Youth will pick an agricultural area to focus on (ex. livestock\, ag literacy/food systems\, environmental stewardship\, ag and health) during their term and explore leadership opportunities locally\, statewide\, and even nationally.
