New Zealand Young Farmers

About

A network of vibrant young rural achievers.

Story

NZYF is a non-profit social organisation which is tonnes of fun with down to earth people... it's a progressive and dynamic network for rural youth which develops the leadership and personal skills of its members through participation, achievement and having FUN.

Over 90 Clubs are situated around New Zealand and each club has its own identity and community spirit, backed by a national organisation. You make friends for life and develop your personal and practical skills by organising or participating in meetings, events, social activities and competitions.

You don’t need to be a farmer to join Young Farmers - a love of the land coupled with a willingness to participate and be an active member of your community is all you need.
