TO BE ANNOUNCED

The Youth/Young Adult program is designed to provide leadership training and life skills training through a variety of opportunities for youth between the ages of 14 and 35. Individual life skills will be developed through the Achievement Award Program which offers opportunities for exploration in Public Speaking, Sign-A-Song, critical thinking, mentoring, and career exploration.

The Youth department will work with the Junior department in creating opportunities for older Junior Grange members to begin their transition into the Subordinate Grange by combining camps and encouraging youth to be mentors to those older juniors.

The Youth/Young Adults are invited to participate in several camps throughout the year as well as the youth activities at the Annual State Convention in October. Youth are also encouraged to attend the National Grange Convention in November by participating in the National Programs.

The Youth/Young Adult department is an excellent way for the youth to become active in the Subordinate Grange as well as the State and National Levels.
