Seaforth teen, Moore, named one of six Ontario 4-H ambassadors At 4-H Ontario's Conference and Annual Meeting,, Nicole Moore, of Seaforth, an active member of the Huron County 4-H Association, was selected to represent the 4-H program for the upcoming year as a 4-H Ontario ambassador. From 20 contestants, six senior 4-H members were selected to take the communication skills and self-confidence that they developed in 4-H to promote the program. The other 2005 4-H Ontario Ambassadors are: Steve Holtz, of Waterloo; Laura Hutton, of Perth; Jeff McCallum, of Elgin; Michelle Pfister, of Perth; and Stephanie Snyder, of Waterloo. "Young people talking to their peers and the community about the positive impact of the 4-H program on their lives, is the best promotion for the 4-H program," said Darlene Smith, 4-H Ontario Program Assistant. "The new Ambassador 4-H Club program is a win-win for everyone. The young people involved get to demonstrate the skills that 4-H has provided them and the 4-H program gets six excellent advertisements of what 4-H is all about." Nicole Moore has completed 36 projects during her eight years as a 4-H member. The variety of clubs she has been involved with range from maple syrup to scrapbooking and chinchillas to sheep. Nicole is very active in many county and regional 4-H activities, including representing Huron County at the provincial "Go for the Gold" competition. "4-H has helped me become a more outgoing, confident and informed person. I have developed numerous leadership skills," said Moore. "It is an unbelievable program and I would not be the person I am today without 4-H." In 2005, the Ontario 4-H program will be celebrating its 90th anniversary. Since 1915, hundreds of thousands of young people have participated in this unique youth organization that combines "hands-on" education with a fun and safe learning environment. Through the dedication of more than 1,500 volunteers, members participate in a variety of projects, ranging from livestock to life skills to drama and social recreation. 4-H Ontario is dedicated to the personal growth of young people by developing their self-confidence and teaching them skills in leadership, public speaking and team building.
