2012 Texas 4-H Equine Ambassador Leadership Program

2012 Texas 4-H Equine Ambassador Leadership Program

 

On June 3-7, 2012, the Statewide Texas 4-H Equine Ambassador Leadership Program will be held in Gainesville, Texas at the Lone Oak Retreat, http://loneoakretreat.com .   This event has been developed in order to encourage young people in 4-H to develop leadership skills and an understanding of the equine industry.  The goal of the program is to enable these young people to develop abilities that will make them leaders in tomorrow’s horse industry.

 

Participation is open to all districts of the state.   Participation is open to 4-H youth ages 14-17 years of age with a genuine interest in the equine industry.  

 

The cost of the school will be $250.00 per participant.  This will include meals, lodging and all materials.  Students will not be allowed to stay elsewhere.  It is necessary that we have 4 chaperons, either in the form of Adult Leaders or County Extension Agents. Cost for an adult leader chaperon is $180.00 each to attend. 

 

Registration will be through an online application process on 4-H Connect from April 1 through April 20. The maximum number of 4-H Equine ambassadors will be 30.   These participants will be chosen by the Texas AgriLife Equine Ambassador Committee. Application does not guarantee acceptance into the program.

 

Attached  are Letters and information on Participation, Goals and Expectations, and list of questions for applicants to consider prior to registration.  This should clarify any questions that you may have about submitting applications.  A Tentative Agenda is also attached. Also Attached are the Waiver and Code of Conduct the participant will need to provide upon arrival.
