Nebraska 4-H requires all members enrolled in a livestock project to complete annual quality assurance certification through the Youth for the Quality Care of Animals (YQCA) program. The program has recently moved to a new online system at https://yqcaprogram.org.
You’ll notice a major change to the account structure — the opportunity to create a parent account and add children, essentially creating one family account for all your YQCA needs.
On the “More Info/Parents & Youth” page, you’ll find Help Documents detailing the steps to getting your web-based training certification, instructor-led training certification (face-to-face training) or test-out certification.
Parents/youth, if you have a current and valid YQCA certification, please follow the steps at https://go.unl.edu/newyqcasteps to get yourself set up on the new site.
Instructions for Lancaster County 4-H/FFA livestock exhibitors are at https://lancaster.unl.edu/4h/livestock#YQCA.
