Alabama 4-H has selected a new group of talented, young leaders to serve the organization the upcoming year. Thirty-four members from 22 counties make up the 2025-2026 team of 4-H state ambassadors. Caroline Brown represents Limestone County. Those selected as ambassadors serve as representatives of the organization, promoting Alabama 4-H programs on the regional, state and national levels. They help plan state-level events, such as the Midwinter Teen Retreat and 4-H’s statewide community service project. The ambassadors also assist with 4-H youth councils within their regions.

Joy Scott, an Alabama 4-H leadership and citizenship specialist, and 4-H Extension Agents Trent Carboni, Chelsey Gann and Kisha King serve as advisors to the state ambassadors. Scott said throughout their year of service, these members will have the opportunity to develop their skills in leadership, citizenship, public relations and team building.

“Working with the ambassadors each year is an extremely exciting part of my job,” Scott said. “I have the opportunity to witness firsthand how the ambassadors explore their personal 4-H spark on the county, regional and state level.”

Aaliyah Sanders, 4-H ambassador president, has been a Henry County 4-H member for 10 years and looks forward to leading the 4-H ambassadors this year.

“Being the voice for all Alabama 4-H’ers is truly a blessing,” Sanders said. “I plan to lead and guide my fellow ambassadors in a path to continue to strive to make the best better.”
