FFA is a national organization whose purpose is to promote premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. The official name of the organization is the National FFA Organization. The letters “FFA” stand for Future Farmers of America. These letters are a part of our history and our heritage that will never change. Visit ffa.org for more information.
In 1929, Hawaii became part of the National FFA Organization. Hawaii currently has 21 chapters and 609 members.
Agricultural Education is employed through three major components:
Classroom/Laboratory: Contextual, Inquiry-based Instruction and Learning through an interactive classroom and laboratory.
SAE: Experiential, Service and/or Work-Based Learning through the implementation of a Supervised Agricultural Experience Program.
FFA: Premier Leadership, Personal Growth and Career Success through engagement in FFA, PAS, or NYFEA programs and activities.
