What is the National FFA Organization?

The National FFA Organization is a national school-based youth leadership development organization of more than 1,027,200 students enrolled as part of 9,235 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. FFA’s mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for outstanding leadership, personal growth and professional success through agricultural education. For more information, visit the National FFA Organization online at FFA.organs on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Stellantis announced through a press release in Auburn Hills on 12/11/24 that to celebrate the Ram brand’s continued support of Future Farmers of America (FFA) for more than 70 years, the truck manufacturer today announced the brand’s first TikTok contest to support FFA chapters in the United States. The announcement and contest launch was in line with the opening of the 97th Annual FFA Convention on Thursday, October 23, 2024. Using TikTok as a social platform, Ram invites FFA members to demonstrate “Built to Serve” in their farming communities.
