The Agriculture Youth Council was created by Secretary of Agriculture, Blayne Arthur to develop future agricultural leaders in Oklahoma through professional development, industry exposure and experiential learning. The Council consists of upcoming high school seniors representing the agriculture industry from across the state.
The council will be a year-long term that meets monthly. Each sessions will be day long commitments. Sessions will include visits to Oklahoma agricultural companies and organizations, opportunities to learn about the legislative process and job shadows with industry professionals. In addition, students will participate in leadership and professional skill development activities and receive information regarding preparing for college.
High school seniors from all Oklahoma counties are eligible to apply. Membership in 4-H/FFA is NOT required. Travel to and from the State Capitol is required; however, travel to tours will be provided from the Capitol. If students are selected and fail to regularly attend meetings, tours, respond to GroupMe or emails, or be actively involved with the council, they will be dismissed.
