Young Pork Advocates
In 2024, NPPC unveiled Young Pork Advocates, a Strategic Investment Program developed specifically for individuals ages 18-22. This initiative expands on NPPC’s SIP and aims to empower young advocates within the pork industry.
As part of the annual World Pork Expo, NPPC hosts the Young Pork Advocates Issues Meet Contest, which fosters lively discussions on key pork industry topics.
For an annual investment of $50, member benefits include:
- Regular communications on critical pork industry policy and regulatory issues
- Investor alerts, updates, webinars, and opportunities to apply for scholarships
- Communications and advocacy training
- Eligibility to attend NPPC Legislative Action Conferences in Washington, D.C.
- Complimentary registration and parking at the World Pork Expo
- NPPC-branded gear
NPPC helps equip these young advocates with knowledge of current issues, career readiness skills, and an expanded professional network with peers, industry experts and policymakers.
