The National FFA Organization (formerly Future Farmers of America) is a dynamic intracurricular student organization for those interested in agriculture, leadership, and career development. Operating at the local, state, and national levels, FFA is an essential component of agricultural education programs that prepare students for diverse careers in agriculture, agribusiness, animal and plant sciences, biotechnology, environmental science, and related fields.

FFA emphasizes leadership development, personal growth, and career success through a variety of experiences that extend beyond the classroom. Members engage in hands-on learning, competitive events, leadership conferences, and community service projects, gaining real-world skills and making a positive impact in their communities.

Founded in 1928, FFA has grown to reflect the full spectrum of modern agriculture—far beyond traditional farming—embracing innovation, sustainability, and emerging technologies in the ag industry.

Whether you're passionate about animals, food systems, natural resources, or business, FFA offers opportunities to grow, lead, and succeed.
