Pony Clubs, Inc. The National Youth Congress was created by the USPC Board of
Governors to bring together outstanding older Pony Club members from all over the
country. This is the sixth year of the program, and 38 youth, ranging in age
from 18 to 24, were recommended by their Clubs and selected by their Regions in
recognition of their leadership at the local and regional levels. Their
participation in the Congress enabled them to work together to broaden
awareness of themselves and of the opportunities for the future. It also gave
them the opportunity to get to know the outstanding USPC alumni who received
the USPC Academy of Achievement Awards this year.
