Host families needed
1987 marks the 16th anniversary
of the Junior Agriculturalist Pro
gram. The program has grown to a
province wide summer experience
opportunity for urban students
since 1972. Approximately 2700
young people have experienced
this unique opportunity across the
province of Ontario.
You may ask what exactly is a
Junior Agriculturalist. The Junior
Agriculturalist Program is an
experience program in which
urban youths ranging in age from
16 to 18 with no previous farming
experience, work on a Host Family
Farm during the summer. The
students experience rural life and
are encouraged to participate in
community programs with their
host family. The Junior Agricul
turalists work for twelve days and
receive two days off.
Host families must run a full
time commercial operation, and
have an interest in supervising and
working with inexperienced youth
to help them develop the skills
needed on a farm. The Junior
Agriculturalist receives a wage of
twenty dollars a day for their
services. In addition to the room
and board, the host family supplies
ten dollars of the total twenty dollar
wage. The remaining ten dollars is

Stratford earlier, sang “Ode to
Joy.”
