YQCA Response to COVID-19
If you are planning on attending a State Livestock show you will need to have your youth go through the YQCA training but not if you are only planning on showing at local county fairs. If you were not able to participate in the District YQCA training, here is information to get a discount code for the month of April ONLY.
The YQCA program is offering a “Flash Sale” for the month of April. This will allow youth to complete the online course at a reduced rate of $9, only during the month of April. However, in order to take advantage of the reduced price, participants must use a coupon while registering for the online course. Individual families may obtain these by using the form below. To be clear – using a coupon is the ONLY way a family can take the online course at a reduced rate. A family will not receive the discount if they just log in, sign up for the online course, and pay with a credit card. It is imperative that the instructions on the order form are closely followed and a copy of the form/payment is sent to sales@yqca.org prior to mailing.
If there are youth who are enrolled in an instructor-led class in another county and would like to take the online course, you will need to cancel their current registration and receive a refund. You will need to log in to your family’s account and cancel each child’s registration. There are more details on canceling class registrations in the resources below.
To have questions answered, please email Janae at jmcnally@ksu.edu or contact YQCA information at info@yqca.org.
