The Youth Exhibition Poultry Association (YEPA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and supporting young people interested in raising and showing exhibition poultry. YEPA offers a comprehensive educational program, known as the A.C.E. Program, which provides youth members with hands-on experience, knowledge, and skills in breeding, managing, and showing exhibition birds.
Through its programs and activities, YEPA aims to foster a passion for poultry keeping and exhibiting among young people, while also developing their critical thinking, communication, and leadership skills. Members of YEPA have opportunities to participate in showmanship competitions, take certification exams, and engage with other enthusiasts through national events and local clubs. By providing a supportive community and structured learning environment, YEPA helps youth members achieve their goals and develop valuable skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.
