The objective of the CCYA are to develop and strengthen youth involvement in the breeding, raising, and promotion of Charolais cattle, as well as to unite youth from across Canada.
The existence of the National Board, which includes representatives from the various provinces/regions, ensures that all regions are given an equal opportunity to be involved with the CCYA, and fosters communication between the various regions. The board is responsible for providing insight and recommendations to the Conference and Show executive, maintaining a positive relationship with the Canadian Charolais Association, and overseeing the various CCYA programs that take place.
