Youth Lead Act

This legislation, known as the Youth Lead Act, proposes to provide federal grants to several prominent youth organizations to foster their expansion into underserved rural areas and small towns. Specifically, the bill targets the Girl Scouts of the United States of America , the Boy Scouts of America , the National 4H Council , and the National FFA Organization . These grants are intended to fund pilot projects designed to broaden the reach and impact of these organizations' programs in these communities. The legislation allocates $5,000,000 annually for this initiative, commencing in fiscal year 2026 and continuing through fiscal year 2030, to support the development and implementation of these vital youth development programs.
