Ag Queen Podcast | Episode 108 | National FFA Chapter Connect Program

The National FFA Organization's Chapter Connect program connects diverse FFA chapters across the U.S. to foster authentic relationships and learning. The program, which includes financial assistance for national convention attendance, involves 32 chapters, 30 of which are new. Participants, like Jordan FFA from North Carolina and Westwood FFA from Arizona, engage in virtual and in-person activities to discuss commonalities and challenges, such as recruitment and retention. The program has evolved to include project components and service learning to sustain connections beyond the convention. Assessments and feedback have led to improvements like shared hotel blocks and intentional service learning experiences.
