Junior Ambassador Program
The Beaverton Fall Fair Junior Ambassador program is a leadership program for youth in our community. When chosen, the ambassador will represent the Fair and community at various local events throughout the year. The program creates opportunities for participants to improve their public speaking and interview skills, as well as increase their agricultural awareness, leadership experiences and community involvement.
Competitors for the Junior Ambassador Program can be male or female, thus allowing all young people the chance to experience this wonderful program
Benefits of the Program
All youth participating in the ambassador program will receive a monetary reward and have the opportunity to serve various community service hours which can go towards fulfilling the requirements for their High School Diploma.
