AUBURN UNIVERSITY, Ala. ­– With the new school year comes a new group of talented, young leaders ready to serve Alabama 4-H. Thirty members from 21 different counties make up the 2023-2024 team of 4-H state ambassadors. Those selected as ambassadors 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, and 4-H Foundation Regional Agents Deborah Stewart and Kisha King serve as advisors to the state ambassadors. Scott 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 have the opportunity to witness first-hand how the ambassadors explore their personal 4-H spark on the county, regional and state level.”
