FFA is not just a "club." It is one of three integral components of an agricultural education program: classroom instruction, supervised agricultural experience and leadership skills (FFA). Students between the ages of 12 and 21 who are enrolled in a systematic course of instruction in agricultural education are eligible for membership. Your local school system must offer agricultural instruction and have an active FFA chapter for you to join.
