County Council and Ambassadors

AgriLife Logo

County Council members are representatives of their 4-H clubs and all Fort Bend county 4-H youth in the 3rd to 12th grade are invited to attend. County Council will resume in September 2025.

The goal of the Fort Bend County 4-H Ambassador program is to create a team of youth leaders that represent 4-H at county, local, and state level events. County 4-H Ambassadors will also have a voice in the planning and facilitation of 4-H events since they will be representing the county 4-H program.

Fort Bend County 4-H Ambassadors are Fort Bend County teens interested in community leadership and promoting 4-H. Ambassadors choose their own schedule of events each year. Applications for the 2025-26 team will open in August 2025.

For more information on County Council or Ambassadors, contact Dr. Willa Williams, CEA Urban Youth Development, at willa.williams@ag.tamu.edu
