Leicestershire and Rutland Young Farmers are part of the National organisation - National Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs (NFYFC) - aimed at young people in the rural community between the age of ten and twenty six.
The organisation as a whole provides young people with a wealth of new experiences and opportunities.

As such, the NFYFC is the largest rural youth organisation of its kind in the UK. The NFYFC’s policies are decided by a National Council, which comprises 120 members and associate members, half of which are elected by the membership to represent their respective county federations.
