Indian River County Youth Livestock & Horticulture, Inc. (IRCYLH) is a Florida-registered, 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to growing the next generation of agricultural leaders.

Founded in July 2017, IRCYLH was created to promote and support youth involvement in agriculture by partnering with 4-H clubs, FFA chapters, and adult mentors across Indian River County. Our mission is to nurture curiosity, teach real-world skills, and showcase the importance of agriculture in everyday life.

What We Do

Inspire a Love for Agriculture
We connect youth, their families, and the community to livestock, horticulture, and the broader agricultural industry.
Teach Skills for Life
Through hands-on projects, we emphasize the fundamentals of animal husbandry, business management, and professionalism.
Host Local Shows & Events
We plan and present high-quality livestock and horticulture shows that highlight the hard work and talent of Indian River County youth.

Our focus isn’t profit—it’s learning. Each project is a tool to help young people grow into responsible, capable adults with marketable skills and a lifelong respect for agriculture.
