The Defeat of Jesse James Days is currently accepting applications for Ambassador and Junior Ambassadors to participate in its Candidate Experience program. The Candidate Experience is rewarding for everyone and runs approximately 10 weeks, culminating on the last day of the DJJD festival when a coronation is held. Three equal Ambassadors and two Junior Ambassadors will be selected to be a team throughout the next year visiting many other communities and meeting hundreds of people through parades, coronations and volunteering at other special events.
Candidates are offered fun social activities, learn about the Defeat of Jesse James Days history and develop new friendships in a non-competitive environment. The focus is on the development of life long skills such as public speaking, interviews, poise, building self-confidence, responsibility, and leadership. The statement notes that this is not a beauty pageant.
