PREPARING YOUTH TO MAKE AN IMPACT IN AG

The CHS Foundation provides support at the state, regional and national level to grow high impact youth leadership programs. We engage teachers and students through training and leadership opportunities to prepare them to make meaningful contributions to the ag industry.

State or national projects that are ag focused and have an education, leadership development or career training component will be considered for funding. Priority is given to national-level programs that reach multiple states. Apply now.

Local youth leadership projects will be considered under the CHS Seeds for Stewardship program.

By 2020

55,000 students will be more aware of opportunities in ag and better prepared to make meaningful contributions.

Partner Spotlight: FFA

The CHS Foundation and FFA have partnered for more than 40 years to develop ag leaders for life.

By 2020

3,000 ag teachers will be better prepared to educate the next generation.
