Future Farmers of America
The FFA is a national organization of students enrolled in agricultural education in 50 states, Puerto Rico, Virginia Islands, and the District of Columbia. It was organized in November 1928, and is considered an integral part of the curriculum in agricultural education in the public schools. All students in these programs receive instruction in personal leadership growth and development which can best be achieved through the FFA.
Through active participation in the FFA, members learn by taking part in and conducting meetings, speaking in public, participating in contest based on occupational skills, earning awards and recognition and becoming involved in cooperative efforts and community improvement. The FFA offers opportunities for becoming productive citizens in our democracy.
FFA members believe in leadership, citizenship, and patriotism. They believe in free enterprise-freedom under the law-in making their homes, schools, and communities better places in which to live and work.
Members participate in regular chapter meetings, present motions, debate issues, and take part in decision making. They work hard, but they also play hard, as recreation is also a part of each year's program of activities.
