The ''National Junior Horticultural Association'' (NJHA) is a U.S. non-profit organization, founded in 1934, that is dedicated to promoting and developing horticulture among youth. This is mainly achieved through a variety of horticulturally related tours, activities, and competitions organized at annual national conventions held each fall. These competitions also serve as the national level for finalists from horticulture competitions held by 4-H, FFA, The Grange, and similar organizations at state or local levels. Preparations for these competitions help train youth in areas such as speech, presentation, and horticultural knowledge, but also, it is hoped, builds in them a greater appreciation for horticulture. Additionally, the organization aims to enrich education and to guide youth to pursue a career in horticulture. ==NJHA Goals== # To promote and sponsor educational programs for youth through a variety of projects and activities that foster a better understanding of horticulture. # To develop good citizens with a basic understanding of nature and an acceptance of responsibility for the environment in which we live. # To acquaint youth with the many and varied career opportunities, both vocational and professional, available in the horticultural industry. # To provide young people and their adult leaders with new experiences in group participation, cooperation and leadership at the national level. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Junior Horticultural Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
