State Project Ambassadors, called SPAs, will be mentored by 4-H state specialists who represent particular project and programming areas. As 4-H staff plan events, write new curricula or develop any other initiatives, they will consult with their corresponding SPAs to gather ideas and feedback. A maximum of four SPAs can represent each project area. SPAs serve a one-year term, with an option to reapply for the following year.
