FFA, or Future Farmers of America, is a student organization that focuses on agricultural education, leadership, and career development. FFA programs are offered from 3rd grade through high school. Classroom courses are now offered at Diboll Jr. High to our 8th graders. 

What it is: FFA is a non-profit organization that helps students develop leadership skills, explore career interests, and prepare for careers in agriculture, agribusiness, and related fields. 

How to join:To join FFA, students must be enrolled in at least one agricultural education course at their school. They can contact their school counselor or agriculture teacher to enroll and join. 

What it offers: FFA members participate in Career Development Events (CDEs) and Leadership Development Events (LDEs) to test their skills and prepare for careers. FFA also offers collegiate affiliation and has awarded over $36 million in scholarships to students pursuing higher education. 

What it looks like: FFA members wear blue corduroy jackets with the FFA emblem on the back and a smaller emblem on the left chest. The jacket also features the member's name and sometimes their office and year on the right chest.
