The Scottish Association of Young Farmers (SAYFC) brings together young people in rural Scotland who are interested in agricultural and the countryside, and has done since 1938. As the association has evolved, the main ethos has remained constant, to offer personal development opportunities for young people. The unique organisation led by the members for the members, has encouraged members to think and speak for themselves. Membership is open to anyone between 14 and 30 years of age, and with more than 3000 members and 80 clubs across Scotland affiliated with the association, anyone who is interested in joining will find a club near them. The current motto “Not just for those who wear wellies” enhances that the association is not just for farmers, and many of the current members do not work, live or indeed coming from a farming background. SAYFC is for anyone who would like to be part of a youth organisation where they can gain personal development that will undoubtedly benefit them during their time as a Young Farmer, and in their future. Activities range from stockjudging and art & craft competitions to sports events, drama, farm/producer visits to dances & international travel. VISION SAYFC's vision is to ensure the the youth in rural Scotland have a dynamic and accessible organisation which will support them to become successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens. This is achieved by: * Increasing the awareness of the benefits on offer by being a member. * Ensuring members are being heard; our actions reflect the needs and aspirations of our members. * Providing a clear strategic approach to improving the services we offer members. * Offering a clear approach to assisting our members with their personal development. * Improving communication and networking across the youth and agricultural sectors. * Increasing the recognition of the positive contribution to society made by Young Farmer members
