NATIONAL FFA ORGANIZATION
INDIANA – National FCC Organization, a nationally-recognized school-based student leadership development organization, announced last week that it reached a record-breaking milestone of having more than one million FFA members: 1,027,273 (+8.6% from last year).
National FFA CEO Scott Stump said, “It’s exciting to watch this generation continue to find their place in agricultural education and FFA,”
FFA, formerly known as “Future Farmers of America,” was founded in 1928 and has since evolved into a youth organization that extends past the traditional farmer. Today, FFA reaches middle and high school students in both rural and urban communities and encourages diversity in membership. The wider range of student participation sheds light on the value of both traditional and urban farming.
The announcement of the milestone of reaching more than one million FFA members comes ahead of the 97th National FFA Convention & Expo, which is set to take place October 23-26 in Indianapolis. In 2023, the Convention had a record-breaking attendance of nearly 73 thousand students.
