The National Rifle Association Youth Programs Office recently invited four Youth Groups (4-H, Boy Scouts of America, Royal Rangers, and the National High Rodeo Association) to submit their 2009 nomination for their Ambassadors to the National Youth Shooting Sports Ambassadors (NYSSA).
Formerly known as the Youth Advisory Board, the NYSSA offers scholarships, introductions to national shooting sports celebrities, camaraderie, travel, and career opportunities to a representative group of our shooting sports youth from several youth organizations.
"We will extend invitations to our remaining cooperative partners after the initial trial year of 2009," said Larry Quandahl, Youth Programs Manager. "In return, we all benefit from the Ambassadors' perspective and their input on making the sport more attractive to youth, growing the sport, and encouraging increased industry support of youth shooting."
If you know of a 16- to 20-year-old who is active in your organization's shooting sports program, feels comfortable in front of an audience, and can travel, you are encouraged to contact your shooting sports coordinator to meet the December 1, 2008 deadline for submissions to the NRA.
If you have questions, please call the NRA's Youth Programs Department at (703) 267-1552.
