Youth Ag & Leadership Foundation of Sonoma County

The Youth Ag & Leadership Foundation of Sonoma County, a non-profit 501c(3) corporation, was established in 1982 to empower and support youth agricultural education and leadership development in Sonoma County. Through the Foundation, youth clubs and county-wide projects, activities and events can apply for grants to enhance and benefit their work. Scholarships are available for youth to attend education conferences throughout California and the United States to enrich their lives. The Foundation is also proud to offer educational scholarships to promising young men and women to attend college and trade schools. In 1994 the Foundation built the Sonoma County Center. Located in Rohnert Park, the Center is used for club and county events and activities, training events for adult leaders and members, outreach activities and general meeting space. The multi-purpose room is capable of accommodating 300 people with flexibility to divide the space into 2 medium-sized rooms or 4 small rooms. The building has a kitchen, office space, outdoor space for miscellaneous educational events and activities and adequate parking. The Foundation continues to operate and maintain this Center. The Foundation is administered by a Board of Directors representing finance, education, business and agriculture.
