The National FFA Organization is the premier youth
organization dedicated to preparing members for leadership and careers in the
science, business and technology of agriculture. FFA members are the future
food industry’s premier human capital, and they are all driven by the
organization’s foundational motto: Learning
to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve. Cultivating their
passion and connecting them to innovative thought processes and cutting-edge
technology is critical to their individual ability to support and contribute to
future sustainability in farming, science, medicine, and business alike.
The National FFA organization provides leadership, personal
growth and career success training through agricultural education to 650,000+
student members belonging to 8,500+ local FFA chapters throughout the United
States, Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands.
