In what year was membership in FFA restricted to just boys?

Membership in FFA was restricted to just boys in the early years of the organization. This change occurred in 1930, when the FFA established its official constitution, which specifically outlined membership criteria. At that time, the organization was primarily focused on preparing young men for careers in agriculture and rural leadership, reflecting the societal norms and expectations of the era. The decision to limit membership to boys was part of broader gender roles prevalent in society during this period.

Over time, these practices evolved, and women were eventually admitted into the organization, marking a significant change in the culture of FFA. This transition highlights the organization’s growth and adaptation to include all students interested in agricultural education and leadership, regardless of gender.
