Ambassadors

The purpose of this program is to promote Marion County youth, educate the public about the Southeastern Youth Fair, and encourage the local community to participate and support the Fair. Since 1998, these students have made a significant contribution to the success and operation of the Fair. Training is provided in public speaking, and many hours are put into speech writing and perfecting their presentations. To become an Ambassador, students from 8th to 12th grades must apply for the position and be interviewed before they are accepted into the program. They must maintain a 3.0 GPA throughout the year. Their responsibility toward their job and their willingness to work have earned them a positive reputation in Marion County. They have donated over 1,070 hours of community service work to over 20 different organizations.
