Delaware FFA is a student organization with over 5000 state members. We are part of the National FFA, whose membership is over 500,000 students nationwide as well as Puerto Rico and Guam. The State and National organization is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of young people by developing their potential for leadership, growth, and career success through agricultural education. Our agriscience education programs provide a well-rounded approach to learning through classroom education in agriscience topics, hands-on career experiences, and FFA, which provides leadership opportunities and tests students’ agriscience skills. FFA members may choose to enter the workforce directly or pursue higher degrees through technical schools and four-year universities, are preparing for careers in agricultural marketing, processing, education, horticulture, production, biotechnology, natural resources, forestry, agribusiness and other diverse agricultural fields.
