4-H keeps on getting better and we need to spread the word. The 4-H program is one of the largest out-of-school education youth organizations in the world.
What has 4-H done for you? Has it developed your leadership skills? Has it provided information and training in a certain project area? Has it influenced your career choice?
Here is a chance to share your experience, learn public presentation skills, have fun and tell the 4-H story. We are now accepting applications for 4-H Ambassadors. As an Ambassador, you will represent the Lincoln County 4-H program and be involved in the following:
