This project will develop an event/series centered around raising awareness of the many agricultural opportunities available to our youth, particularly grades 9th-12th, as they are in the infancy of developing a plan for their futures. I hope to partner with the career academy at Hart County High School in Hartwell, GA, from which I am a graduate (2004), to host an Ag Professionals Summit & Career Fair centered on helping these young minds develop stronger considerations for careers in the agricultural industry. My experience in the agricultural industry has afforded me the opportunity to meet and network with so many brilliant agricultural minds. I intend to invite those people to this event so that they may share their experiences and lend guidance to all the youth in attendance.
