Beef Ambassador Program

Colorado CattleWomen are proud to announce the inception of our Beef Ambassador Program for Colorado youth interested in advocating for the cattle and beef industry.

High school and middle school students are invited to become beef ambassadors.  These students will speak on behalf of the industry and share facts, educational information and personal stories about the cattle industry with other students and the public.  Ambassadors will be provided with materials and coached by mentors to help them in this endeavor.

In addition, they will be encouraged to create social media content to be shared on Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms.

Being a Beef Ambassador allows students to jump start their agriculture careers, provides learning opportunities, builds an impressive resume and fosters leadership and life skills.

Beef Ambassadors, along with coaches, can begin their journey by attending the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association Convention on June 24 where a Beef Ambassador training and brainstorming session will help them focus on projects and goals.  Thanks to the Colorado Beef Council, CCW can help coaches who are bringing ambassadors to the event with mileage costs!    Please contact CCW if interested in becoming a coach, ambassador or in attending the CCW ambassador training at the CCA Convention June 24.
