White County 4-Her Selected as Heatlhy Living Ambassador

Urbana, Ill. – Three Illinois teens stand ready to take on new challenges as they begin their work on the 4-H Healthy Living Ambassador (HLA) team.

The HLA team is comprised of teen 4-H members who were chosen for their ability to lead, mentor, and teach in order to inspire others to become healthier. HLA members work to assist with healthy living programs and workshops in their community while developing leadership and collaborative skills as they serve on this statewide team.

Youth are often the influencers in their communities, which is why the 4-H Healthy Living Teen Ambassadors program uses teens to educate other youth and their families about healthy living topics that the ambassadors choose and facilitate.

New members Kelsey Aldrich of White County, Nick Gorbach of Rock Island County, and Peter Widinski of Will County will join current returning team members Lilah Bonny of Shelby County, Katelyn Marley of Montgomery County, and Allison Sewell of McClean County.

In the year ahead, the HLA team will focus on promoting healthy living and inspiring positive change within their communities. By leading workshops and engaging with youth, they will foster greater awareness of health and wellness, while also building valuable skills in leadership and collaboration. Through their work, they will continue to make a lasting impact on the well-being of those around them.
