Minnesota Teach Ag Ambassador Program
The Minnesota Teach Ag Ambassador program is designed to utilize current collegiate students majoring in Agricultural Education-Teacher Licensure to represent the Agricultural Education profession and encourage others to teach agriculture. This program was developed by Minnesota’s State Teach Ag Results (STAR) committee, which is coordinated by MAELC.
This year’s Teach Ag Ambassador program will run through January, 2023. Along with supporting National Teach Ag Day activities on September 15, 2022 the ambassadors will spend their term encouraging high school and postsecondary students to consider a career in teaching agriculture. The ambassadors will use several different outlets to accomplish this task including social media, email, workshops, booths, and presentations. They will also connect with Minnesota high schools to answer questions about agricultural education!
If you are interested in having a Teach Ag Ambassador connect with your local high school, college, student organization or community group please contact Kari Schwab at maelc@umn.edu.
