Growing the next generation of leaders who will change the world.
The Kentucky FFA Association is a student-led organization whose 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 & Community Benefits
FFA is an intracurricular student organization for students interested in agriculture and leadership. Giving members the chance to develop their unique talents and explore a wide range of agricultural career pathways, our goal is to strengthen real-world skills, builds confidence, and connect students with hands-on learning that prepares them for future success.
In Kentucky, FFA is truly for everyone; members range from 12 to 21 years old and are actively enrolled in at least one agriculture course, creating a diverse community of young leaders who share a passion for agriculture, growth, and service.

What our student members are saying…
“When I first started FFA, I wouldn’t talk to anyone, because I was so shy. Now, there are so many things I wouldn’t have done if it hadn’t have been for FFA.”
“There are so many opportunities just sitting at your feet. Say hello, meet the people, the reward is so great. You only have a few years of your FFA journey, so make the most of it.”
“FFA has transformed what I thought was possible for my future tremendously.”
“I grew up on a farm and being in FFA opened my eyes to so much of the industry. Ag Education & FFA are impactful to anyone.”
“Traveling the country has made me appreciate Kentucky more. Kentucky FFA is one of a kind, Kentucky FFA members, you’re lucky, we have a great state!”
“It’s a great heritage and foundation that Kentucky FFA provides, which has been going on since 1928. FFA is a blessing for generations.”
