The Nebraska Agricultural Youth Institute (NAYI) provides youth with an opportunity to explore the ag industry, discover potential ag-related careers and strengthen their appreciation for agriculture, the state’s leading industry. Applications for the 2016 NAYI are now available from the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) website at http://www.nda.nebraska.gov/nayi/index.html. Students interested in applying have until April 15th to apply. Hard copies of the application as well as posters will be mailed to 4-H Extension Offices and FFA Advisors in the near future.
NAYI, a five-day summer program for current high school juniors and seniors, is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year. The Institute will be held July 11-15, 2016, at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s East Campus, and it features motivational speakers, discussion on agricultural issues and opportunities, a farm management game, a formal banquet and a dance.
NDA selects students to attend the Institute based on their leadership skills, interest and involvement in agriculture. NDA provides the cost of meals, lodging and conference fees for students selected to participate.
