Indiana 4-H Ambassadors
The Indiana 4-H Ambassador program was created empower teen 4-H leaders with the knowledge, skills, and aspirations necessary to be effective advocates for Indiana 4-H Youth Development. 4-H Ambassadors’ current leadership abilities will be strengthened and expanded so that they may serve as positive role models for younger youth; build meaningful partnerships with other 4-H teens, adults, and professionals, as well as community partners and sponsors; and promote the 4-H mission in Indiana.

Who are the 2023-24 Indiana 4-H Ambassadors?
Abigail Montemer
Hi! I'm Abigail Montemer, and I am a homeschooled senior in high school. I'm from Hamilton County, and this is my tenth year in 4-H. I am currently serving my second term as president of my county's Junior Leader program.
Some of my favorite projects include Junior Leaders, needlecraft, and collections. A goal of mine as an Indiana 4-H Ambassador is to promote the 4-H program to both 4-H and non-4-H members, showcasing everything it has to offer.
