Parent / Guardian Information on YFYFC

Young Farmers’ Clubs provide an opportunity for young people to develop, to learn and to enjoy themselves by offering a diverse, fun and educational programme of activities planned by members – for members.

Each Club is supported by their County Federation (YFYFC) and affiliated to the National Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs (NFYFC).

Club meetings are usually weekly and are organised and run by YFC members. The Club elects Club Officers annually to take responsibility for the Club on behalf of its members and organise the activities that members take part in. Weekly meetings can range from talks and trips to preparing for competitions or fundraising for charity.

In Clubs with largely younger members, there is a dedicated team of adult volunteers (Club Leaders) who are elected by the members to help support the  members to run the Club. All adult volunteers within YFC are screened for suitability using safe recruitment procedures set out in the Safeguarding Policy.
