Leadership Roles Farmers Union youth programs focus on teaching and encouraging youth to follow through with the leadership and cooperative skills, principles and values they have learned in their day classes, summer camps and award trips.
Farmers Union youth programs do not end after the senior youth program. Youth are challenged to participate in more active leadership roles, such as summer staff positions and serving as Farmers Union representatives in county and state activities.
Continuation of these practices assists our youth in their adult lives as they gain leadership positions in our ever-changing world.
