Aspiring Rural Leader Award 2026

Aspiring Rural Leader Award 2026
The Aspiring Rural Leader Award is open to all members of a YFC committee during the membership year 2025-26, of clubs and county federations affiliated to NFYFC.

Taking on a role in your YFC (at county or club level) is an important responsibility and we want to hear about those committee members who have gone the extra mile to support or develop their clubs (or counties) and members.

Volunteering for a role in YFC carries a lot of responsibility and opportunities to inspire and lead others. This award celebrates the people who make success happen and demonstrate real leadership skills.

This entry can be made by anyone from the club or via a nomination from someone connected to YFC. You can also enter yourself for this award.
