What type of membership does FFA primarily target?

FFA primarily targets high school students enrolled in agricultural education classes, which is essential for fostering interest and involvement in agriculture and leadership among young people. This demographic is specifically chosen because FFA aims to provide students with skills and knowledge relevant to the agricultural industry, encouraging their development as future leaders while also supporting their education through hands-on experiences and opportunities.

While other groups such as college students, adults in the agricultural workforce, and students of all grade levels might have interests that align with agriculture, FFA's core mission focuses on high school students. This allows the organization to cultivate leadership, personal growth, and career success among youth who are forming their identities and deciding their future paths in agriculture. Additionally, engaging students in these formative high school years helps to build a foundation for lifelong involvement in the agricultural sector and related areas.
