What is FFA?

FFA is an intracurricular student leadership component for Agriculture Students.

The National FFA Organization is a youth leadership organization that prepares students for leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.

While its roots are in agriculture, FFA today is so much more — it’s about developing leaders, building confidence, and opening doors to a wide range of careers in science, business, technology, natural resources, and beyond.

FFA at Peachtree Academy

At Peachtree Academy, every student enrolled in an agriculture course automatically becomes a member of the Peachtree Academy FFA Chapter, the Georgia FFA Association, and the National FFA Organization.

This membership connects students to a network of more than 1,042,000 members nationwide and provides opportunities to:

• Compete in Career Development Events (CDEs) and Leadership Development Events (LDEs)

• Attend leadership conferences, workshops, and state and national conventions

• Participate in community service projects and school activities

• Develop skills in public speaking, teamwork, and problem-solving

• Explore real-world agricultural careers and discover their individual passions

Learning by Doing

FFA encourages students to learn by doing — whether it’s caring for plants and animals, managing Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) projects, speaking in front of a crowd, or traveling to competitions across the state.

Being part of FFA isn’t just about preparing for a career in agriculture — it’s about preparing for life.
Our members graduate with confidence, leadership experience, and a sense of purpose that lasts well beyond the classroom.

FFA Vision

Growing the next generation of leaders who will change the world.
