Are you ready to ignite the thrill of adventure in your kids while instilling values of responsibility and community engagement? Look no further than the PNW4WDA Future 4-Wheeler Youth Program!
Our mission
To provide the youth of the Pacific Northwest 4-Wheel Drive Association with opportunities for leadership, community involvement, and the pure joy of recreational activities. We believe in shaping future generations into not just off-road enthusiasts, but also responsible, engaged citizens.
Get Your Kids Rolling with the Future 4-Wheeler Program!
The program is as exciting as it is educational and is designed for youth aged 5 to 18. Signing up is a breeze – simply reach out to your Region Director or conveniently sign up online. Parents, you can even enroll your youngsters when you become PNW4WDA members!
Upon registration, each participant receives their very own membership card, which serves as a passport to document their incredible journey. And the best part? Every year at our winter convention, these young trailblazers will be celebrated for their contributions to the world of four-wheeling in the PNW!
The Road to Recognition
The Future 4-Wheeler Program encourages participants to set and achieve goals. No need to rush – there's no time limit! Once your child has completed their card and it's approved, they'll receive well-deserved awards and recognition at the next Winter Convention.
We've divided our young adventurers into age groups to make the experience more tailored and fun:
5 - 8 years
9 - 12 years
13 - 18 years
