Some may think 4-H and FFA are organizations of the past and have no place in an era of smartphones and instant gratification.  In today's world, these groups bring a vibrant legacy of learning, leadership and connection to the land and the animals that remains as relevant as ever.  What does that mean?

​

Cultivating Skills for a Diverse World

Today's farmers and ranchers are entrepreneurs, scientists and environmental stewards. FFA and 4-H equip young minds with practical skills and foster a sense of responsibility towards their communities. In a world distanced from the source of its food, these programs educate a generation of informed and passionate advocates for sustainable agriculture and animal husbandry.

​

Empowering Leadership and Confidence

4-H and FFA cultivate invaluable social skills that include public speaking, leadership workshops and collaborative projects. This experience can go far to instill confidence and communication skills that will prove to be of great benefit to these kids. These programs offer a safe space for belonging and community, fostering a network of support that extends far into the future for the young people involved and even their families.​
