ABOUT      
FFA is an intercurricular student organization for those interested in agriculture and leadership.

FFA is an integral part of a school's agriculture program.The agricultural science education program is built on the three core areas of classroom/laboratory instruction, supervised agricultural experience programs and FFA student organization activities/opportunities.

FFA operates on local, state and national levels. Student members belong to chapters organized at the local school level. Agricultural education instructors serve as chapter advisors. Chapters are organized under state associations headed by an advisor and executive secretary, often employees of the state department of education. States conduct programs and host annual conventions. The Arizona Association FFA is a resource and support organization that does not select, control or supervise local chapter or individual member activities except as expressly provided for in the state FFA constitution, bylaws or policies. 

The National FFA Organization, governed by a Board of Directors and a Board of Student Officers, charters state associations; provides direction, programmatic materials and support; and hosts the National FFA Convention, which draws more than 70,000 attendees each fall. The National FFA Alumni Association's more than 40,000 members assist in the continued growth and development of active FFA programs.

The official name of the organization is the National FFA Organization. The letters FFA stand for Future Farmers of America. These letters are part of our history and heritage and will never change.
