National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry
The Grange is a family, community organization with its roots in agriculture.Founded in 1867, the Grange was formed as a national organization with a local focus. Our members are given the opportunity to learn and grow to their full potential as citizens and leaders with a strong history in grassroots activism, family values and community service.
A brief program history of the California State Youth Fair Program.
In 1982, the California State Grange adopted a resolution that established the Youth Fair Program. It has since been adopted by the National Grange.
MISSION & PURPOSE
The mission and purpose of the Grange Youth Fair Program is to provide an opportunity for young
Grange members to participate in an educational setting designed to increase confidence;
strengthen character; and teach the importance of self-discipline. The program encourages
learning opportunities involving all generations; working with voluntary adult leaders, and
exhibiting the results of their projects at Fairs and Exhibitions
The National Grange Fair Program offers Junior Grange and Grange Youth members the opportunity to exhibit at County Fairs and Expositions within a State that has recognized and approved the National Grange Fair Program. The mission of the National Grange Fair Program Leadership is to maximize the potential of our Junior Grange members and Grange Youth by providing guidance as they develop a greater understanding and appreciation for our agricultural abundance, as well as creating and developing individual skills.
Through the leader’s planning, teaching, and encouragement of these young people in their hands-on projects, and the cooperative and competitive experience of exhibiting at fairs they will become more responsible, self-directed, and successful citizens in our society.
