This past week, the Greenwood County 4-H Ambassador Team interviewed two applicants and selected both to join their team. The two new team members are Brooke Gaines, a member of the Madison Pacesetters 4-H Club, and Addison Westerman, a member of the Racing Wranglers 4-H Club. The current team is made up of Lyle Perrier and Hannah Perrier both members of the Racing Wranglers 4-H Club, and TJ Mills and Corinne Nelson both members of the Fancy Mustangs 4-H Club. “We are very excited about adding Brooke and Addison to the team and the high-quality group Greenwood County has to represent and promote our county’s 4-H,” stated Agriculture and Natural Re-sources Extension Agent Ben Sims.
Not sure what a 4-H Ambassador is? No problem! Ambassadors are highly respected 4-H youth leaders that have demonstrated those skills and have a strong desire to further develop leadership and promotional skills in themselves and others. Team members are 4-H youth in grades 9-12 who have a sincere desire and ability to promote the Greenwood County 4-H Program. The terms for Ambassadors are two-years with bi-monthly meetings. If you or someone you know is interested, you can visit the Greenwood County Extension webpage and look under the 4-H Youth Development tab to learn more! Applications are due annually by September 1.
