Description / Mission
This program started in 2010. The focus is to help youth gain self-esteem and confidence through interactions with fellow Royalty and stage presentations. These youth learn how to be Ambassadors and perpetuate their heritage by attending local and neighboring states’ ethnic events, festivals, parades and pageants.
Four youth are selected as Royalty to represent the MN Czech Country, serving a one year reign as Ambassadors of their Czech heritage.
