Junior & Youth
Leadership Opportunities
The NC State Grange works to help its youth to build leadership skills, character, and self confidence. Young Grangers learn many life skills they need, especially how to be a good leader. All events focus on these skills while having fun. There are very many different leadership opportunities for youth in the Grange. Whether serving on a committee or as an officer in a local Grange, all Grange youth have the opportunity to get involved! Some of these experiences also lead to travel opportunities and recognition.
NC State Grange Ambassador Program
Each year, one male and one female, are chosen to represent North Carolina as the Ambassadors. These two young persons are selected for their leadership qualities, their Grange experiences, and their drive to help the Grange grow. They are chosen through an application and interview process and must be willing to travel. They serve for one year and represent the North Carolina State Grange at many events including Eastern Regional Youth Conference and the National Grange Convention. Youth Ambassadors experience many exciting and rewarding moments as well as the opportunity to meet youth from other states. Being an Ambassador is achieving the top leadership position and is a special honor.
NC State Grange Youth Team
Each year, six Grange youth are selected through an application and interview process and must be willing to travel statewide. These young people exhibit leadership skills, motivation, and enthusiasm. These youth are willing to give their time in order to help the Youth program grow. The purpose of the Youth Team is to help lead activities at various events and help plan Grange Camp. The Youth Team also receives the opportunity to attend the Broyhill Leadership Conference at Queens College in Charlotte, NC. Youth can serve on the team for up to 2 years, but must re-apply and interview each year.
YLT/Youth Officers
Youth may be involved in leadership roles by becoming State Youth Officers. Youth elect their peers into these positions during the Winter Youth Conference. Each officer has a different responsibility and each officer grows substantially through this leadership opportunity. Youth Officers lead the Youth Drill Team and meetings at Grange Camp and State Convention. Youth officers learn more about the Grange as well as parliamentary procedure.
