Oregon Region Youth Board

What is the Oregon Region Youth Board?

The Regional Youth Board is a representative group of Pony Club members that develop ideas and inform the Regional Board and Council of what Pony Club members would like to do in Pony Club any given year as well as organize events for the Region, including our annual End of Year Banquet and Model Horse Rally. The Youth Board also gives members a chance to interact with members from other clubs and forge new friendships.

​

What do they do?

In the past, the Youth Board has been in charge of organizing and running Model Horse Rally, regional member socials, fun activities at Rallies, a used tack sale, the Annual End of Year Banquet and Awards, supported the regional Pony Club camp, and more. The Oregon Region Youth Board can do many more amazing things!

​

Who can join?

Each club is allowed up to two Club Representatives (Club Reps), with each Representative serving a one year term. It is up to the individual club to select who they will send to represent their club with the basic criteria of representatives being between 12 and 25 years old AND at least a D3HM. Club Reps serve a one year term, but can be renewed for an additional term with ORYB and DC/CA approval. 

​

How do you become a Youth Board Representative?

In order to be a Club Rep, you must be selected by your local club members to serve a one year term. In that term, you should attend both meetings of the Regional Youth Board which may happen in conjunction with the Regional meetings. At these meetings, the Club Reps are expected to participate in discussions and create ideas for the Regional Youth Board, as well as participate to help implement these ideas. As a Club Representative, you are responsible for bringing ideas and questions from your club to the Youth Board as well as reporting back to their clubs any relevant information.
