Beginning DAIRY LEADER Program
Beginning DAIRY LEADER Program is being reimaged to NY State Animal and Agriculture Leadership Program (AAL) for fall of 2024
We are partnering with our youth livestock specialist and equine specialist to expand this program to include more youth interested in animal agriculture and careers. The NYS Animal and Agriculture Leadership program is the same model as the previous BDL program, just giving like-minded young people the opportunity to explore animal agriculture in a larger networking environment.
The goal is for participants to continue their career ladder and apply to the more intense Junior DAIRY LEADER program, Livestock Ambassador(2025), or Advance Equine program after completing the program year of AAL.
