DATCP Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council
The purpose of the Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council is to encourage young people to engage with state government and increase their awareness of DATCP's interactions with Wisconsin's agriculture industry.
The four goals of the Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council are:
-
Highlight the agricultural-related career opportunities available including those in government
-
Share the state tools available to support Wisconsin farmers
-
Provide insight on how to effectively engage in state agricultural policy development
-
Increase networking opportunities for participants across the agricultural industry
The Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council is comprised of up to 15 Wisconsin high school seniors, with the goal of at least one member from each of the nine Council districts. Applications are accepted through March 31 of the calendar year in which students will be beginning their Senior year of High School.
