Who:<\/strong>\u00a0This program is for all Maine youth ages 13-18.<\/p>\n

What:\u00a0<\/strong>Maine 4-H is launching a new session cohort for interested eligible youth for the Maine 4-H Agricultural Ambassadors program!\u00a0 The program is designed for youth ages 13-18 who are interested in any aspect of agriculture.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

This season we will visit local Maine Ag businesses like Libby Maple, Yeti Ridge Farm and more. Transportation assistance for these events may be available upon request.<\/p>\n

In addition to the multi-week session, youth will serve in their ambassador role 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.<\/p>\n

Transportation assistance may be available upon request.<\/p>\n
