National FFA Organization - Overview

Overview

The National FFA Organization is a dynamic youth leadership organization that strives to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agriculture education. High school students compete in various events called Career Development Events (CDEs) and Leadership Development Events. Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) programs are designed to broaden the students abilities and experience in different fields of agriculture. Students are supervised by education teachers in cooperation with parents, employers and other adults who assist individuals in the development and achievement of educational and career goals. Today, FFA has over 540,000 members if not more across the nation. These students strive for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.
