About Us
organizational leadership
Western Legacy Ambassadors, Inc. was founded by volunteers with more than three decades of combined experience in youth development, equestrian and western programs, fairs, rodeos, and western heritage initiatives across Colorado.
about the program
Western Legacy Ambassadors, Inc. is a Colorado nonprofit program dedicated to developing confident young women who represent the traditions, values, and future of the American West.
Designed for young women ages 11–19, the program provides real-world leadership experiences rooted in western heritage, agriculture, stewardship, and community involvement.
Ambassadors serve as role models while participating in community events, educational experiences, and outreach initiatives throughout the year.
Through these experiences, participants build confidence, professionalism, and a strong sense of responsibility—learning to represent not only themselves, but the communities, industries, and traditions they carry forward.
What Makes Us Different
Where leadership Begins...
Western Legacy Ambassadors, Inc. is built on more than appearances—it is built on experience, education, and a deeper understanding of the people, traditions, industries, and communities that shape Colorado's western heritage.
Through meaningful, real-world experiences, our Ambassadors learn what it means to represent something greater than themselves—with knowledge, confidence, and purpose.
confidence built through experience...
Every opportunity, every visit, every connection, every conversation—helps shape these young women into leaders.
They leave this program with more than memories, they leave with knowledge, confidence, and purpose.
Rooted in Tradition...
True leadership is built on a strong foundation, one rooted in tradition and driven by purpose.
Through meaningful connections with the people, traditions, and communities preserving Colorado's western heritage, our Ambassadors gain a deeper understanding of the legacy they represent and their responsibility to carry it forward.
Beyond the Arena...
Our Ambassadors don’t just show up, they understand what they represent. Through hands-on experiences and direct connections with professionals, they gain real-world knowledge and a deeper understanding of Colorado's western communities.
This is what sets Western Legacy Ambassadors apart.
Honoring the past. inspiring the future
Western Legacy Ambassadors, Inc. is committed to preserving the traditions, values, and industries that define the American West.
By investing in young women today, we are helping ensure this way of life continues for generations to come.
