🌟 IMGA Youth Achievement Program 🌟

The IMGA Youth Achievement Program was created to encourage youth involvement both inside and outside of the show ring! This program recognizes hard work, leadership, volunteering, educational activities, and participation throughout the year. 🐐🏆

Youth can earn points through IMGA and JIMGA events, educational opportunities, community involvement, show participation, and more. The top point earners in each age division are recognized at the IMGA Annual Banquet at the end of the year!
