Sponsorship
Build with Us.
The Yuill School of Agriculture is being built by community. Your contribution funds the kind of education that creates real careers — for real students — in the region you live and work in.
Two ways to give — both with permanent recognition.
The Challenge
Agriculture needs leaders. We’re building them.
The challenge facing agriculture.
Across our region:
- Skilled labour is harder to find
- Operations are becoming more complex
- Fewer young people are entering the industry
This puts pressure on:
- Family farms
- Local businesses
- The future of agriculture in our communities
Why this gap exists today.
For years, young people have been told:
- Opportunity exists outside of rural communities
- Agriculture is outdated or limited
- Career success requires leaving home
The reality of agriculture today:
- Advanced and technology-driven
- Entrepreneurial and innovative
- Full of opportunity across multiple career paths
Thousands of agriculture jobs in Alberta are expected to go unfilled in the coming years — your support helps close that gap.
Your support doesn’t just fund a school.
It builds a workforce. Strengthens a region. Secures a future.
