About The Club
|
FFA is a national youth leadership organization based in agriculture found in all 50 states. With over 600,000 current members, it is one of the largest youth organizations in the United States.
The National FFA's mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. To do this, we offer a variety of experiences and activities for our members including leadership conferences, speaking contests, career development judging events, and conventions. Hartford has an active local chapter that participates in the community, state, and national events. If you're interested in learning more, please feel free to contact Kim Yohn (kimberly.yohn@huhs.org) or June Strupp (june.strupp@huhs.org).

Members must complete their co-curricular paperwork to receive an orange card, then complete their FFA membership form and pay their dues. This makes them a member at the local, state, and national levels of the organization. Ideally, an FFA member takes agriculture coursework during their high school career and works to develop an agricultural career experience project at some point as well.
