NEW!!! SPONSOR a YOUTH Officer Team member
NEW OPPORTUNITY! Become a sponsor for a member of the Youth Officer Team. Beginning with the Youth Officer Team selected for the PA State Grange Session in October 2021, the Youth Officers will be presented with an official Youth Team vest, including the Grange logo and their name embroidered on the front. It’s time for our State Youth Team to have a distinct identifier, similar to those of the FFA and 4-H. The Youth and Young Adults Committee has selected gray vests for the Youth Team and black vests for sponsors.
To sponsor a member of the Youth Team and receive your own black vest, we are requesting a donation of at least $100 to the PA Grange Youth Department. Donations can be made by Granges, individuals or small groups but only 1 supporter vest per $100 will be available. To sponsor a member of the Youth Team without a supporter vest, we are requesting a donation of at least $60. If you have a specific office that you would like to sponsor, please annotate that on the form attached here:

The Youth Team will be wearing their vest while participating in any Grange activity to show their pride in this great organization. Thank you for your help in recognizing our amazing Youth and Young Adults!
