What is the FFA?
The National FFA Organization is a dynamic youth organization that changes lives and prepares students for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success. FFA is NOT Extra-curricular activity. FFA is nationally recognized and holds a Federal Charter. Two of the top three FFA executives are employed by the U.S. Department of Education. Many former members credit their career success to their involvement in FFA. Over 476,732 students in 7,223 Chapters belong to FFA in the United States. FFA members can be found anywhere from downtown Chicago and New York City to Versailles, KY and French Lick, IN. Any student in grades 7-12 enrolled in an agriculture course may become an FFA member. Students in 6th grade can become FFA members but are not recognized nationally only locally. More that 70% of FFA membership is composed of rural non-farm, suburban, or urban students. The remaining 30% actually come from farming communities. FFA gives students the chance to apply knowledge learned in the classroom to a real life setting through Career Development contest. Such contest include: Quiz Bowl, Agriscience Fair, Speaking Contest, Essay Contest, Opening and Closing Ceremonies and many more. If you are interested in becoming a FFA member go see your local school’s Agriculture teacher.
