Sorensen Helps Reintroduce Bipartisan Youth Lead Act to Support FFA, 4-H, and Scouts

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Eric Sorensen (IL-17) has joined a bipartisan group of lawmakers to reintroduce the Youth Lead Act, a bill aimed at helping youth organizations like the Future Farmers of America (FFA), 4-H, and the Scouts continue to grow and thrive. The legislation highlights the importance of building leadership and life skills in young people across the country.

"Growing up, I learned how important it is to work hard, be part of a team, and help others-and that's exactly what programs like FFA, 4-H, and the Scouts teach," said Congressman Eric Sorensen. "The Youth Lead Act helps support these awesome groups so more kids in our community can build confidence, learn new skills, and become great leaders. When we believe in our young people, we believe in a brighter future for everyone."

Nearly 8.4 million young people participate in FFA, 4-H, and the Scouts nationwide. Congressman Sorensen is proud to support this legislation to help expand access to these life-changing programs, especially for students in Central and Northwest Illinois.
