The Kane County Farm Bureau Foundation, ST. Charles,Illinois, is a general not-for-profit corporation organized under IRS Code 501(c)(3) with one of its goals being to serve the needs of our county’s youth through education and other opportunities, so that they may increase their skills in agriculture.
The Foundation has agreed to fund an internship(s) to assist the Farm Bureau in its Public Relations efforts and to assist in the coordination of the Kane County Farm Bureau’s “Ag-in-the-Classroom” (AITC) program. AITC is an educational program designed to instruct students of all ages of agriculture’s role in society using innovative techniques such as science experiments, videotapes, classroom visits and other materials.
The intern chosen will work directly with the KCFB manager, Ag-in-the-Classroom coordinator and the Ag-in-the-Classroom Committee under the academic supervision of a college or university instructor.
This Winner’s Choice Tractor Raffle is the Foundation’s primary fundraising endeavor. Last year’s raffle helped the Foundation provide college scholarships to 27 students and funded internships to help future ag industry leaders get practical experience in their field.
