Sign Up to Volunteer with the 2025 Youth Market Turkey Show

We’re looking for volunteers to help with the Youth Market Turkey Show (YMTS)! This is a great chance for you to support young people in agriculture.


When & Where You’re Needed

The Youth Market Turkey Show takes place at the NC State Fairgrounds in the Kelley Building. We have two key dates for volunteers:

  • Weigh-In Day: Wednesday, October 8th
  • Show Day: Thursday, October 9th

You don’t have to work both days. We have flexible 1/2 or full-day (4 or 8-hour) shifts available, and you can sign up for one or both days. We need data entry, turkey caregivers, help direct/answer questions, hand out ribbons, etc.


Who Can Volunteer?

Anyone can help! We welcome a variety of volunteers, including agents, teachers, college students, and anyone with a passion for agriculture. No experience is necessary, and youth can even volunteer with adult supervision.


What’s in It for You?

It’s our way of saying thank you for giving back to the community.

  • Work one full day and receive a free ticket to the State Fair.
  • Work two full days and get a State Fair ticket and an exclusive YMTS t-shirt.

Ready to help? You can sign up using the volunteer sign-up sheet. Thank you for supporting our youth and agriculture!
