Junior Master
Photographer/Photography Ambassador Workshops
The Texas 4-H Junior Master Photographer (JMP) program
provides advanced instruction to photography enthusiasts. As a Junior
Master Photographer, youth will be expected to return to their counties and
districts to serve as teen leaders for the project. Additionally, Junior Master
Photographers may be called upon by the County Extension Agent or 4-H
Specialist to serve as photographers for various 4-H events and
activities. Only dedicated photography project youth wishing to expand
their knowledge as well as service to others should apply for this
opportunity. In other words, youth do need to have a good working
knowledge of their camera prior to attending this advanced training.
To be a certified Junior Master Photographer, candidates
must:
· Be
in 7th – 12th grade

BOTH Workshop I and Workshop II
