Youth Ambassador & Junior Committee

Do you want to be the next WIHS Youth Ambassador?
Or a member of the WIHS Junior Committee?

WIHS is now accepting applications for the 2013 WIHS Youth Ambassador and WIHS Junior Committee.  Don't delay! The deadline is Sunday, April 21.

About the Program: Introduced in 2009, the WIHS Youth Ambassador Program was created to engage young equestrian enthusiasts from the local community who have an interest in learning about WIHS and working side by side with the WIHS staff to produce the show. In addition, WIHS relies on the youth perspective in developing many special and community-related events.

The WIHS Junior Committee also is selected through this application process. The WIHS Junior Committee is a group of students who develop and assist with a variety of projects before and during the show. We have many returning members but there are a few spots open.

How to apply:

  1. Download the Youth Ambassador/Junior Committee application, which outlines the requirements and commitments
    > WIHS Youth Ambassador/Junior Committee Application
  2. Answer all the questions on the application. Use as many pages as you need.
  3. Return your application to WIHS by Sunday, April 21, 2013
