Membership in Junior Grange or 1+ ProgramJunior Grange membership is allowed in any Subordinate/Community Grange which means any Subordinate/Community Grange can have a Junior Grange Program with as little as one child age 5 to 14 years of age. That is the “1” part of the program. The “+” part of the program is that you don’t have to stop at 1, it is just the starting point.
Process:
· The Junior Granger completes an application, submits it to a Community/Subordinate Grange, and receives the Junior Grange Obligation from the Subordinate President.
· At that point, the Junior member may participate in all of the age-appropriate contests and activities open to them. As your Junior membership grows, make plans to charter a full Junior Grange in the future. All Junior Grange 1+ members will automatically become members in the newly chartered Junior Grange.
· Who can join?
o Junior Grange membership is open to any boy or girl
· What are age requirements:
o Must be at least 5 years old. Must not be older than 14 years
o Membership terminates at the end of the year when the member reaches 14
· Where to join?
o Applications may be submitted to any Junior Grange in your State,
o If there is no Junior Grange nearby, you can now submit your application to a Subordinate/Community Grange.
· Anything else?
o Applications must be signed by a parent or guardian. Minimum application fee is $1.00. Contact the Junior Director or Membership Director for applications.
