LEAD. REPRESENT. MAKE AN IMPACT.

SERVE. CONTRIBUTE. IMPACT.

 

The Arkansas Youth Expo Ambassador Program is a premier leadership opportunity designed to develop and empower young leaders who represent the voice of exhibitors across the state. Each year, 12 ambassadors are selected to serve as advocates and representatives of the Arkansas Youth Expo, working closely with AYE staff to communicate exhibitor feedback, support program initiatives, and help strengthen the overall exhibitor experience.

Throughout their term, ambassadors participate in meetings, special events, and leadership development opportunities that prepare them to represent AYE with professionalism and confidence. This includes attending the annual Ambassador Leadership Summit, where ambassadors grow their leadership skills, connect with industry leaders and sponsors, and collaborate with fellow ambassadors from across Arkansas.

The AYE Ambassador Program is more than a title — it is an opportunity to grow as a leader, build meaningful connections, and make a lasting impact on Arkansas’s junior livestock industry while representing something greater than yourself.

Applications for the 2026 AYE Ambassador Team will open on: March 2nd, 2026
