The National Junior Swine Association was formally established in 2000 for youth, ages 21 and under, who have an interest in the Duroc, Hampshire, Landrace and Yorkshire breeds of swine. The NJSA offers youth a variety of opportunities to reach their potential through leadership conferences, scholarship programs, and national and regional junior shows featuring numerous educational contests. The NJSA sends out a quarterly newsletter to its members filled with information about upcoming events, educational articles and entertaining feature stories.
