Congratulations on starting a TeenAg club!

You are now a part of the New Zealand Young Farmers network,

which has been developing New Zealand youth for over 80

years.

Starting a club can seem like a huge challenge, where do you start? This book is designed so you can follow the NZ Young Farmers Club processes to create a successful

and active club.

Having a process is important in a club. This helps you to figure out what you want to achieve from your club, gives you a structure for running your club and lets you know

how to ask for advice and guidance on how to get the most out of your club. If you have any problems, don’t understand something or simply want some support then

contact your local Field Officer, or one of the team at the National Office. We want your

club to be successful as much as you do.

Most commonly asked questions:

What is TeenAg? TeenAg is our secondary school level club for 13-18 year olds.

This leads into Young Farmers Clubs that are run within regions for 16-31yr olds who are professionals working in a variety of industries. Starting with a TeenAg club helps

you to gain information about careers, try exciting new activities, develop your

leadership skills, enter regional competitions and have a heap of fun!

Do I need to be an Ag student or from a farm? No way! Anyone can be

part of TeenAg or New Zealand Young Farmers! It’s about young people getting

together, sharing their experiences, enjoying fun activities, meeting new people and learning more about things you are passionate about! Teachers, nurses, accountants,

athletes, farm managers, designers, IT gurus … there isn’t a guest list at the New

Zealand Young Farmers door, everyone is welcome!

Can we call ourselves a Young Farmers Club? Sure you can, just be

aware that we will refer to you as a TeenAg club since you are a secondary school

group, that you get registered through our system as a TeenAg member and that the

regional competition is called TeenAg.


Setting up a TeenAg Club

This is a guide to running a TeenAg Club. It has information about roles within the club, how to run activities, meetings, a leadership checklist example and various forms to

help you run your club.

Remember if you need help – call or text your Field Officer! They are there to help and support your club.

Recommendations

- Run your meetings regularly, keep the time and date as consistent as possible. - The Club Executives need to use the example leadership checklist. This is a very

similar structure to how our New Zealand Young Farmers clubs run and will help you to develop ideas to be an active and awesome club.

Club Structure

The following positions are the recommended positions that each club should have.

Office holders should not hold more than one position, but in smaller clubs this may be unavoidable.

Chairperson Vice-Chairperson Treasurer Secretary

For clubs that have more than 20 members, you may wish to have two Vice-Chairs. Your vice chair should be someone who will be looking to lead the club the following

year, so they can learn from the current Chairperson.

Clubs may also have the following members: Publicity Officers

Safety Officers

Electing Officers

If the current Chairperson is running for office again then a temporary chairperson must be elected for the meeting (you could get a teacher to chair your election meeting to

save time). If the current Chairperson is stepping down from office then they may chair

the election meeting.

Voting Rights

Only registered members may vote with their single vote. If a member is absent from the AGM they should provide an “apology” prior to the

meeting. If this is done then the member has the right to place a proxy vote. Votes must be received on voting papers, handed to the scrutineer and counted.


Basic Description of Roles

Chairperson

Empowers the club to get stuck in and achieve.

Chair/facilitate/drive exec and club meetings. Oversee general matters. Liaise with Field Officer and other clubs.

Empower a club to be active and involved.

Vice-

Chairperson

The person you expect to learn from the Chair and one day fill their

shoes.

Fill in as chairman. To keep Chair on track.

Help set out meeting plans to ensure all topics are covered sufficiently. Help to Chair the exec meetings.

Treasurer

Taking care of the money…

Keep accounts, signatories and financials up to date. Take and process membership registrations.

Organise for payments of expenses. You may want to ask a teacher for assistance if your school has policies

or procedures for collecting money or for paying accounts.

Secretary

Getting everything organised!

Minutes and up-and-coming notices – draft and sent to Chair to read

before emailing out. Record keeping – AGM’s, meeting and event attendees.

Help to organise additional notification updates to members where required e.g. txt/emails/Facebook.

Liaise with and ensure Field Officer is sent activity reports.

Publicity Officer

Your community won’t know the fantastic things you do unless you tell them!

Get every event, speaker, and activity in the local newspaper - advertising may be cheaper for a free/educational event. You can offer media releases, interviews or articles on your event or even get a

column/update in the local monthly paper (Field Officers and National Office can help with this!).

Keep the Facebook page up to date with good photos and information on it for members and potential members.

Thank you cards, acknowledgement of all assistance given to club.

Check with your Field Officer before hitting the media – make sure that it complies with New Zealand Young Farmers marketing guidelines.

Safety Officer

Ensuring Health & Safety guidelines are followed at any club event.

In charge of making sure Health and Safety Sheet is completed and

given to your teacher in charge of TeenAg or EOTC to check. Make other members aware of the H & S requirements for an activity.

You will need to ask a teacher for help with completing this sheet for the first couple of times.

Sponsorship Overview

Throughout the year as you run events, activities or print club gear you may need to look

at getting supporters to help financially or provide products or services. When looking for supporters you should think of what is the best fit for the club and organisation as well as

what would the supporters get for supporting your club. Supporters can add value to your club by creating awareness of your club and provide products and services to enhance the

club. Why would someone want to support your club?

They see it as community involvement and support.

Your club members & supporters may be potential clients of their business. They are passionate about the rural industry.

Brand awareness and advertising.

Forms of Sponsorship

Monetary – cash/discounts/scholarships.

In-kind – food/transport/venues. Skills – running training days.

Rewarding your Supporters

Brand recognition o Announcements throughout event

o Logo on printed collateral – t-shirts, flyers Invitation and tickets to special events

Build a close relationship with them; involve them in your club events

Who to Approach? NZYF and the Young Farmer Contest have a family of sponsors that are listed on our

website. You could contact their local branch/dealer to ask for support but you are not restricted to use only these companies. As you are looking for supporters of your club not

sponsor of your sponsors you can approach other businesses.

How do you approach a sponsor? Have a clear idea on what you are looking for and would like support for (clothing

transport etc.). Research the company – find the right person to talk to within the business.

Make an appointment to meet with the business. Talk about what you can do/offer the business.

Always follow up with the business after making contact. Be confident and determined, the worst they can say is no!

Carlos McLeod Account Manager

Ravensdown

Dear Mr. McLeod,

I am a student at Coach Boys High School and Chairperson of Coach Boys TeenAg club. We currently have 24 members in our club, from a range of different backgrounds and ages, including many students who live town but have a keen interest in agriculture, the club has been

going since 2011. We formed our club as we all show an interest in the agricultural industry and want to explore the opportunities on offer. We hold monthly meetings, have activities throughout

the year, inter competitions with other local clubs and also get guest speakers in to learn more about this industry.

We are currently fundraising money for a trip to Molesworth Station in Marlborough for the third term this year. The trip would be three days long to compare and contrast how different farming

is in other parts of New Zealand. We are looking for some local support to help us with the Ferry crossings as this is the most expensive part of our trip.

We are approaching Ravensdown as we see you as an industry leader and we are interested in hearing more about what products you offer, particularly about pasture management to broaden

our knowledge to what we learn in school. This is all relevant to the trip we are taking to the South Island.

We have established a supporter framework for our club which enables us to formally acknowledge the businesses that support us.

For an investment of $250 the following will be offered Your brand will be included on the sleeve of any club clothing

You will be formally invited to the club AGM which is to be held at the end of the year You will be acknowledged in any club newsletter, advertising or event that is associated

with the club

Your brand will be included on the footer of the club correspondence as “an official supporter of Coach Boys TeenAg club”

Thank you for considering this proposal, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future

Kind Regards,

(Signature)

Leadership Pathway Programme

The Leadership Pathway Program is for TeenAg Club members who hold an executive position within their club e.g. Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, Treasurer and Secretary. To

be involved in the programme you must apply as a club by completing the application process.

The programme is aimed at identifying people who have emerging leadership potential,

harnessing their current skill/knowledge base and developing them further with the support of a coach. Leaders come from a range of backgrounds and each has their own set of skills/

abilities. Each leader has a different personality, technique or approach to leadership. New Zealand Young Farmers are seeking out these young leaders to ensure they are developed

into something great that will have a wide positive impact on our Red Meat Sector.

Participants will work through the programme by completing a Leadership Plan which involves completing actions within a checklist, organising events and supplying reports to

NZYF National Office. TeenAg Club participants will also be set up with an industry coach

to support them through the whole process and encourage them to succeed. Participants will network with Red Meat Industry leaders and strategic influences, gaining valuable

experiences that they can apply to their leadership development.

You will also be matched up with a coach who is dedicated to coaching the executives within each club. Our coaches have been carefully selected and all have expansive knowledge

within the Agricultural Industry, particularly the Red Meat Sector. The coaches are available to ask questions, provide guidance, build relationships, help clarify goals and offer their

opinions. There is also the opportunity for executives to visit the coaches work environment to gain a more detailed understanding of their career pathway.

The main outcomes for the Leader Pathway Programme are that our young leaders have

the confidence to apply their skills to leadership in the real world and are recognised for their efforts. Students will gain clarity to make informed career decisions due to their

increased understanding of Red Meat Sector. This would lead to more students enrolling

into tertiary providers to study agriculture therefore increasing the amount of skilled people entering the industry.

Interested?

The first thing you need to do is let your Field Officer know you are interested in participating, so they can support and guide you when you need assistance. You will then

need to complete the application process as a club. If your club is successful, each executive is supplied with an individual ‘Leadership Pathway Folder’ which consists of your Checklist,

Activities Grid, Showing Leadership Sheet and Benefits of the programme.

19 | P a g e

Your Field Officer will then explain to you how to use your checklist and activities grid. It is

up to you to come up with ideas of how you can display leadership in these areas. Some of them might link together – ticking two boxes with one activity! As you come up with

ideas, or do activities, write them down and let your club know so it can be recorded in the minutes. If you are unsure if it is an activity that shows ‘leadership’ then refer to the

‘Showing Leadership Sheet’ in your folder. If you are still unsure, call you’re Field Officer

and ask them, they will be happy to talk about your awesome ideas.

Once you have completed an activity, you need to produce a summary report. Let your creativity shine; videos, power-points or a written report – however you want to

electronically present it. You need to answer the following questions

1) Briefly explain the activity 2) How it helped you to develop or display leadership

3) Something you learned from the experience 4) Two things you really enjoyed about it

5) Two things that you will focus on developing in your next leadership opportunity

6) Any support or information that NZYF could provide to help you with this next step

Once you have produced your report, you need to email it to your Field Officer who will submit it into a folder on the NZYF system. This is so we can track your progress, offer you

support or information where needed and we can celebrate your success when you complete the programme.

The Leadership Pathway Programme must be completed within a year. This is not

necessarily a calendar year but a year from when the club executives have been established.

20 | P a g e

Leadership Pathway Checklist – example

This checklist does not need to be completed separately. For example – if all the executives in the club organise a Movie Night with another TeenAg club, this can be

ticked off by all executives on their own checklist. It is your role as the leader to empower your club to be active and involved.

The blank spaces at the bottom of the checklist are for you to fill in if your club does any

extra activities that are not included already.

What else can NZYF do for your club?

There are plenty other event and competitions that NZYF organise that clubs can get involved with:

TeenAg Regional Final Competition Series - http://www.teenag.co.nz/welcome-to-teenag/ Get Ahead Experience Days - http://www.getahead.co.nz/ ANZ Young Farmer Contest – http://www.youngfarmercontest.co.nz/anz-young-farmer-

contest/

We always need volunteers to help judge modules or be hosts. This is a great way to get

behind the scenes organising these events and gives you a great understanding on what NZYF as a whole is trying to achieve!

For example, you may want to judge a module in the AgriKids Competition to encourage

our young members to pursue agriculture as a career.

Information for Teachers

Does a TeenAg club increase my workload?

No – you are simply the school contact for us to help oversee the finer details. The Field Officer is the main point of contact for the club and the club themselves should be able to

follow this guide with the Field Officers assistance to run themselves.

What do I need to help with specifically?

You could help the students by providing the link between club and school for aspects

such as arranging the use of the school van or mini bus for trips. Students find that having a teacher helping the club to set up a financial system for paying for trips and

recording the incoming of fundraising is extremely helpful.

Turn up to their first meetings and support them get things going – but try not to take control! A key focus for these clubs is to encourage leadership and this booklet is

designed to provide them with the information they need. If they are stuck they can ask

you, but if you don’t know then just re-direct them to their Field Officer.
