I am excited to announce that the program is continuing to expand in 2022 with the inaugural Texas 4-H Poultry Ambassador Short Course! This course will be modeled after the Livestock and Equine Ambassador Short Courses and will be held at Texas A&M University in collaboration with the Poultry Science department this summer. More information can be found on the Bell County 4-H website.
We hope you will consider identifying potential Texas 4-H Livestock, Equine and Poultry Ambassadors in your county and recruit them to the program. Our hope is when they return from one of our short courses, you will find them to be eager to assist you with educational programs. More details regarding the programs can be found at
