Louisiana 4-H Wetland Ambassadors Program: Where Adventure Meets Leadership

Let’s see how the Louisiana 4-H Wetlands Ambassadors explore all that their state’s natural habitat offers while learning more about leadership and environmental stewardship. This Week in Lousiana Agriculture takes us there.

Louisiana’s 4-H Wetland Ambassador Program offers youth a unique, hands-on learning experience that goes beyond the classroom. Participants educate communities about the environmental, economic, and cultural importance of Louisiana’s wetlands.

In this ambassador role, youth enhance their leadership and public speaking skills while gaining career insights through workshops and networking with professionals. The program emphasizes teamwork and problem-solving and inspires a passion for natural resource management.

Former ambassadors, like Meline Miller, credit the program with giving them a competitive edge in college and preparing them for careers in renewable resources. For those ready to explore and lead, this program offers a front-row seat to real-world career development and adventure.
