Charolais International Youth Program
Charolais International voted unanimously at the 2017 Annual General Meeting to implement a Youth Program. Youth from various countries have traveled outside their borders in the past, but it was felt youth would benefit from meeting at a common location in the world annually for leadership and educational opportunities.
It is hoped that countries without youth programs may find this helpful to model start-up programs. Countries
with youth programs will have opportunities to trade ideas to enhance their programs. Countries without youth programs are welcomed to host the Charolais International Youth Program providing they plan educational and social activities focusing on Charolais.
