What is YFC?
Flower Arranging, Group Rally.
The YFC organisation was started to give young people in the countryside a social life with other young people from their area. There are now 37 clubs in Devon.
Today they function in exactly the same way, but now there is much more than just a social life. With the YFC you can have the opportunity to meet new people. Learn new skills, help the community, travel and compete in competitions from club vs club all the way up to national level.
The members run the clubs which gives another opportunity to learn and gain experience, and it also means the clubs to things which are fun and important to the members.
The YFC is a great opportunity to socialise and make new friends, and with hundreds of YFC events every year and a network of friends to share ideas and transport..
Sports are another way to join in and meet other members from different clubs there is a huge variety of sports to choose from. The aim is to enjoy yourself and to meet new members.
Clubs often undertake a Countryside Action Project based on local ideas aimed at improving or helping the community. It might even lead to a local or National award. A sense of achievement and fun can be gained from joining in.
