CONTRIBUTED BY ALABAMA COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SYSTEM

AUBURN —

As another school year approaches, another talented group of Alabama 4-H members has been selected to serve the organization statewide. Thirty members from 19 different counties were selected to serve on the 2022-2023 team of 4-H state ambassadors.

Those selected as an ambassador serve as representatives of the organization, leading and assisting statewide with 4-H clubs and youth council meetings throughout the club year.

Joy Scott, an Alabama Cooperative Extension System 4-H leadership and citizenship specialist, serves as the advisor to the state ambassadors. She said throughout their year of service, these members will have the opportunity to develop their skills in leadership, citizenship, public relations and team building.

“Working with the ambassadors each year is an extremely exciting part of my job,” Scott said. “I get to witness firsthand the outstanding impact these members have on their communities and the state as a whole.”
