The Grange is a family, community organization with its roots in
agriculture. Founded in 1867, the Grange was formed as a national
organization with a local focus. Our members are given the opportunity
to learn and grow to their full potential as citizens and leaders.
The family is the base of the organization with full membership
beginning at age 14. Women have been equal members since the inception
of the Grange. We have a Junior Grange program for children age 5 to 14,
that has helped the youngest members of the family learn about community
values and citizenship for more than 100 years. Our Grange Youth program
develops the leadership skills of our young adults and young married
couples.
The foundation of the organization is the Community Grange, which can be
found in rural, suburban and urban communities. Faith, hope, charity,
and fidelity are the basic lessons of the Community Grange. To learn
more, see the
Declaration
of Purposes.
The Grange has four levels, Community, County or District, State, and
National to ensure that the membership’s voice is heard at the
appropriate place. Our membership sets the direction and activities for
their Community Grange in true grassroots fashion, and those decisions
seep up to the national level. Nonpartisan legislative advocacy,
educational programs, service projects, and social interaction and
networking are just a few of the ways local Granges serve their
communities and members.
