Texas 4-H Fashion & Interior Design Ambassador
WHAT IS A FASHION & INTERIOR DESIGN AMBASSADOR?
The Texas 4-H Fashion & Interior Design Ambassador Program provides senior 4-H members with a chance to enhance their knowledge and skills related to the 4-H Fashion & Interior Design project. This happens through relevant, hands-on training and exposure, with a focus on leadership, educational resources, industry commodities and trends, advocacy, and scholastic and career opportunities. By connecting with industry professionals, Fashion & Interior Design Ambassadors will gain exposure and recognition as youth leaders, while exploring the diverse career paths in fashion and interior design. Ambassadorship is a two-year term. Every two years (even calendar years) youth will be selected to serve as a Texas 4-H Fashion & Interior Design Ambassador. In year one, those chosen will participate in summer training. In year two, ambassadors that are eligible and have met outlined expectations will have the opportunity to participate in a summer industry tour. Each year of the term, September 1 through August 31, ambassadors will provide a minimum of 40 hours of service.
