Who We Are
The Utah FFA Alumni Association was chartered on October 31, 1975, and currently includes ten alumni chapters. Nationally, there are 2,051 chapters and over 459,514 FFA alumni members.
Alumni are a fundamental part of the National FFA Organization.
Agriculture teachers rely on FFA Alumni to help get support from the community for their agriculture programs and to give them more time and freedom to do what they do best - teach kids. Some responsibilities of alumni members may include:
-
Providing volunteers to chaperone field trips
-
Judging career development events and leadership development events
-
Raising funds for scholarships
-
Helping with chapter events
Alumni members do not have to be past FFA members. They can be parents, grandparents, community members, and sponsors.
You don’t have to be a former FFA member to support FFA, agricultural education and the future of agriculture. You just have to want to make a difference!
