The Ak-Sar-Ben 4-H Youth Ambassador program is now in its 10th year and was created to continue Youth Leadership in Agriculture.  These young people are shining examples of the skills and talents taught and shared with 4-H’s four clovers. These individuals went through an intensive interview process Not only were they asked questions, but they had to prepare a portfolio and give presentation on how 4-H has impacted their lives.

Both youth will receive a $1,000 scholarship at the conclusion of their ambassadorship. These scholarships are given by the gracious memory of L.B. Hayes, a long time 4-H Volunteer.
