Welcome to the OUSA Youth Development Program!  The purpose of this program is to connect you with peers, experts, mentors, coaches, or whoever is out there in the greater OUSA community that can help you better enjoy our sport and work towards reaching your goals.

Those goals can be whatever you want to achieve. Maybe there's no club near you, and you're looking for a way to connect with other orienteers. Perhaps you're aiming for the national team, or hoping to become a sports journalist some day. Or you want to put on an amazing orienteering event, or design courses for major competition. Maybe you're becoming an orienteering coach, yourself, or starting your own club as you head off to college. Or you might enjoy mapping and want someone to reach out to for advice.  We want to support all this, and more.

There's no cost to join, but you do need to be an OUSA member (https://orienteeringusa.org/membership/).

Please tell us as much about yourself and your interests as you can so we can reach out across the community and connect you to other people and OUSA resources that will support you in doing what you love to do in orienteering.

We're asking for your email first so we can send you a copy of your application when you're done, and so you can go back in and edit if you forgot something.
