COVID-19 Update: We have received questions regarding the status of the 4-H Water Ambassadors Program for the 2020/2021 year. The Program will proceed, although we will suspend the face-to-face 4-H2O Leadership Academy for Tier II and Tier III and move to a virtual format. Field trips and tours will be coordinated throughout the coming year.
