Purpose: FFA is the largest secondary youth organization in the world. FFA promotes the agricultural industry and develops personal leadership. 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.
Membership: Membership in FFA is open to any freshman or upperclassmen student enrolled in an agriscience course. Middle School Membership is available for 5th-8th grade students at our partner schools. Students not enrolled in an agriscience course may participate in meetings and events at the local level, but can not be enrolled as a state or national member.
Activities: Some activities include:
Fairs: Walworth County Fair and Wisconsin State Fair
Community Service: Stuff the Bus with Sentry, Fuel Food For Families (donating produce grown in the school garden to the Walworth Food Pantry), Operation Christmas Child
Leadership/Personal Growth: I Am/Connect Conference, FIRE Conference, Farm Forum Conference, Sectional Leadership Workshops
Career/Awards: Area, State & National Level: Career Development Events, Leadership Development Events (Public Speaking), Agriscience Fair, Proficiency Awards, Greenhand Degree, Chapter Degree, State Degree, American Degree.
For Fun: Skyzone, Fall/Winter Retreat, Pre-Meeting Activities, Bowling, Mini-golf
Meetings: The third Monday of each month at 6:15 p.m. in the Ag Room (W27). Some committee work is done during FLEX period.
3-Circle Model: The 3-circle model of agricultural education includes classroom instruction, Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE), and FFA. This helps develop students into a well-rounded individual by gaining education, leadership, and work-based experience in the agricultural field. The 3-circle model makes FFA an intracurricular organization at Big Foot High School.
