The Minnesota Pork Board’s Ambassador Program promotes
leadership and communication skill development and helps further an individual's agricultural knowledge through hands-on activities and
social experiences.
Youth representing a local or county
pork organization may participate in state supported events,
including the Minnesota Agriculture Ambassador Institute,
the Minnesota State Fair Oink Booth and Minnesota Pork Congress.
Counties may send two local ambassadors for state-hosted
activities.
County ambassadors may earn a $500 scholarship
from the Minnesota Pork Board for completing a prescribed
list of tasks, which are identified in the Ambassador Handboo. Additionally,
all county ambassadors are encouraged to compete for
the state ambassador positions.
Successful state ambassadors
receive additional scholarships: Minnesota Pork Industry
Ambassador-$1,500; 1st Runner up-$750; and 2nd Runner up-$500.
Additional cash awards are presented for Best Essay and
Congeniality.
