As the Director of the Nebraska Department of Agriculture, I would like to thank you for your interest in the Nebraska Agricultural Youth Institute (NAYI). During NAYI 2024, we hosted over 250 students who gained a better understanding of the Nebraska agricultural industry, learned how to become better advocates for agriculture and developed ideas on what future career paths are available to them in the agricultural industry.

Thanks to our gracious sponsors, NAYI remains free of charge to the students that attend. We work diligently to ensure that our sponsorship dollars accomodate as many students as possible. At approximately $550 per student to attend-our sponsors play a critical role in ensuring the success of the program.

We hope that you will find the information on this page helpful as you consider potentially sponsoring this important agricultural youth education event. If you have questions about sponsoring NAYI, please reach out to Christin Kamm, NAYC Advisor, at 402-471-6856 or christin.kamm@nebraska.gov.
