Future Farms of America (FFA) is an inter-curricular student organization for those interested in agriculture and leadership. FFA was founded by a group of young farmers in 1928. Their mission was to prepare future generations for the challenges of feeding a growing population. Today in FFA, students are prepared for future success through a three component model.
Through agricultural education, students are provided opportunities for leadership development, personal growth and career success. Agricultural education instruction is delivered through three major components:
- Classroom/Laboratory instruction (contextual learning)
- Supervised Agricultural Experience programs (work-based learning)
- Student leadership organizations (National FFA Organization, National Young Farmer Educational Association and National Post-secondary Agricultural Student Organization).
Who is Eligible to Participate: | Any student 6th-12th grades currently enrolled in agricultural education courses. |
