YOUTH
Tailoring outreach, engagement, and development to support upcoming leaders is part of IAC's commitment to see beyond what we need right now to ensure the health and prosperity of future generations. Our youth programs equip Native youth with employable skills, higher education resources, immersive learning experiences and virtual engagement opportunities nationwide.
MISSION
In response to the growing age gap in the agriculture industry, IAC prioritizes youth and young adult programs. We wholeheartedly believe that youth are the future and deserve a head start.
​
The Youth program offers leadership development opportunities such as internships, fellowships and apprenticeships, plus technical assistance to support youth agricultural endeavors.
