YOUTH LEADERSHIP Enriched Youth Leadership Opportunities 4-H ONTARIO AMBASSADOR Sponsored by: GROWMARK, Inc. and UPI Energy LP Application Deadline: December 20, 2013 for 2014 Ambassador roles The 4-H Ontario Ambassador program provides youth with advanced level training in leadership, citizenship, communications and public relations. Ambassadors put their energy and 4-H experience to work recruiting new members and sharing the 4-H story. Up to six current 4-H members, ages 17–21, are selected to represent 4-H Ontario as 4-H Ontario Ambassadors each year. Ambassadors promote the 4-H program by attending events across the province. National and international opportunities may arise as well. For more details visit www.4-hontario.ca/ambassadors. 4-H ONTARIO YOUTH LEADERS Leadership, communication, teamwork, and mentorship are all key pieces to youth leadership in 4-H. Youth Leaders are senior 4-H members who take on additional responsibilities within a club project. Youth Directors work on association initiatives in an Association Board of Directors to learn new skills and practice leadership with the guidance of a 4-H volunteer. Club Youth Leaders must be 15-21 years of age and actively engaged in the project for which they are a youth leader. Youth Directors are required to be active 4-H members between the ages of 18–21. An updated Club Youth Leader project book as well as an Association Youth Director project book will be available to Youth Leaders in March for you to use to complete those projects. Training will be required every two years for members completing a Youth Leader or Youth Director project. Training can be completed by participating in a New Volunteer Orientation Session, a Regional Volunteer Symposium or a provincial 4-H Leadership opportunity (i.e. Provincial 4-H Leadership Camp, Future Leaders In Action, or Ignite Leadership).
