Washington Wheat Ambassador Program
The Washington Wheat Ambassador Program was created to support the next generation of agricultural leaders by providing scholarships and leadership development opportunities for high school students. Open to rising high school seniors, the program encourages youth involvement in the wheat industry through hands-on experiences in leadership, advocacy, and education. Applications open each summer, with selected ambassadors receiving opportunities to represent Washington wheat at events throughout the year.
