The North Dakota 4-H Ambassadors is a group of young adults who are actively involved in 4-H. Ambassadors help plan and coordinate many activities that teach youth and adults topics such as leadership, team work and citizenship. The 4-H ambassadors specialize in planning and facilitating 4-H events such as the Extension Youth Conference, which is held in Fargo. They also help plan workshops, training sessions, and regional and state events.

The ambassadors strive to create events that are fun, educational and skill-building. They take an active role in volunteering in 4-H programs in every county.
