LYNN COUNTY 4-H
WHAT IS A HTYA?
The Healthy Texas Youth Ambassador Program is for teens who are motivated, excited, and ready to make a change in their community! This program is designed for high school age youth who have a passion for health and wellness. These youth are trained at the state level to become youth health experts who can motivate others to make a change in their lifestyle to improve their health. More importantly, these ambassadors assist local county extension agents with program efforts, project activities, and much more!
