The Georgia Junior Livestock Foundation was founded as a statewide organization to promote youth livestock exhibitors of Georgia for their hard work and dedication. The Georgia State Livestock Shows were chosen as a forum to aid these young people. Through public support and fundraising projects, the Foundation will provide financial assistance to Georgia’s youth actively involved in the livestock industry through premiums, scholarships and industry initiatives. The long range goal of the GJLF is to expand the scholarship component of the program that may reward all youth livestock participants regardless of their success in the show ring. The GJLF is a non-profit, charitable organization adminstered by an unpaid, volunteer board of directors.
