We are so excited to surpass 50% of our goal and touched that so many have stepped forward to support our young agricultural students.  There is still much we must raise to fund another year of the New York Youth Institute as well as provide funds for our selected students to attend the World Food Prize in Iowa.  We thought you might like to hear more from our former students, so please enjoy this video from Piper Martz, which will provide more insight into the real impact these opportunities have on students.

Thank you so much and we hope you'll continue to share our project with your online and offline networks and encourage them to support our future agricultural scientists.  Remind them it's tax-deductible and the year is quickly coming to a close ;) 

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our project and shared our message! We're 1/3 of the way to our goal with just under 2 weeks remaining in our campaign.  Your contributions are instrumental in developing the agricultural scientists of tomorrow.  Inspiring high school students to consider careers in agriculture is no easy task, but by experiencing the NY Institute and the World Food Prize in Iowa, they're introduced to the industry in a way that leaves them wanting more.  We hope you'll continue to share our message with your networks and help us reach our goal so that we can provide young students with this exceptional opportunity. Thank you!
