The Weld County 4-H Youth Executive Council is sponsoring a window display promotion that celebrates National 4-H Week, October 3-9, 2021. Your club can put together a window display that lets people see the confidence, passion and practical skills that prepare 4-H’ers to step up to the challenges of our complex, changing world.

This year’s theme is “Find Your Spark”. Every club that constructs an educational and promotional window display that is exhibited in your community will be eligible for the Window Display contest. Youth Executive Council will award a 1st and 2nd place winner with a cash award.

"The Colorado 4-H Ambassador Program is an excellent opportunity for veteran 4-H Shooting Sports members to further develop their leadership and citizenship skills while helping promote the 4-H Shooting Sports Program state wide."

The Colorado 4-H Shooting Sports Ambassadors represent 4-H and specifically 4-H Shooting Sports for public relations purposes at special events such as donor/supporter functions and with the general public, peer groups, 4-H groups, community service groups, schools and media contacts.

Ambassadors serve as spokespersons for the 4-H Shooting Sports program, helping to make 4-H and the 4-H Shooting Sports programs more visible. The ambassador’s also use the experiences they gain to further develop their skills in leadership, public presentation, citizenship, community service, public relations and team building.

Members must be 15-18 years old as of December 31st.  The application is lengthy, so start today on the Colorado 4-H Shooting Sports Ambassador Application.  Applications are due by October 15, 2021.
