FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.

Consider a rewarding career as an Agriscience Teacher!

Our Agricultural Education instructors have a tremendous impact on the students they teach.  We need you to help meet the needs and demands of a growing body of students interested enrolling in Agricultural Education.  Today's agricultural education teachers are in high demand.  The average starting salary of an Agriscience instructor in Arizona is $32,000.  Within a few years you can be making over $40,000.  Over 20% of Arizona Agriscience instructors make over $50,000 annually.  As a certified Agriscience Instructor you would have a career that is extremely portable.  You could move anywhere in the United States because there is a shortage of Agriscience instructors in every single state.

Teaching Agriscience is more than a job, it is a lifestyle and career that would last forever.  It better prepares you for a job in industry.  Agriscience teachers that have actually taught for 3 years or more are in high demand in industry due to the skills they have honed as an Agriscience instructor. It is also a career that you can return to at any stage of your life!

You would also reap a lifetime of benefits from teaching.  There is nothing like having former students contact you and telling you that you have made a difference in their lives.  Think of your agriscience teacher and the influence they have had on your life.  It is a great feeling that lasts a lifetime.
