FFA Code of Ethics

FFA members conduct themselves at all times to be a credit to their organization, chapter, school, community and family. As an FFA member, I pledge to: 

1. Develop my potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success. 

2. Make a positive difference in the lives of others. 

3. Dress neatly and appropriately for the occasion. (See page 29 for proper use of Official Dress.) 

4. Respect the rights of others and their property. 

5. Be courteous, honest and fair with others. 

6. Communicate in an appropriate, purposeful and positive manner. 

7. Demonstrate good sportsmanship by being modest in winning and generous in defeat. 

8. Make myself aware of FFA programs and activities and be an active participant.

9. Conduct and value a supervised agricultural experience program. 

10. Strive to establish and enhance my skills through agricultural education in order to enter a successful career. 

11. Appreciate and promote diversity in our organization. 

Adopted by the delegates at the 1952 National FFA Convention. The Code of Ethics was revised by the delegates at the 1995 National FFA Convention.
