Youth Lead Act
Youth Lead Act: Grants for Rural Youth Programs
The Youth Lead Act is currently in the early stages of the legislative process after being introduced in the House. It has been sent to the House Committee on Agriculture for review. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
The bill has strong support from both parties and helps popular organizations, but it must compete with many other funding requests in the next major farm and agriculture budget.
Key Points
- This bill would provide $5 million in grants every year from 2026 through 2030 to four major youth groups: the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, 4-H, and FFA.
- The money is specifically for pilot projects that help these organizations grow their programs in rural areas and small towns where resources for kids might be limited.
- By funding these groups, the bill aims to give more children in farming communities and small towns the chance to learn leadership skills and participate in hands-on learning.
