The National FFA Chapter Connect pilot program is a new initiative designed to foster deeper, more meaningful connections among FFA members nationwide. Through intentional activities before, during, and after the 98th National FFA Convention & Expo, participating chapters will engage with peers from different regions, program types, and lived experiences.
Selected chapters will be paired with other programs and participate jointly in national convention sessions, workshops, and other planned events. To support participation, chapters will receive a stipend to help offset travel and convention expenses. Following the convention, chapters are encouraged to continue their connections by arranging a chapter exchange experience within six months.
Program Goals
Create opportunities for members to build authentic relationships with students from different communities, backgrounds, and geographic regions, broadening their perspectives and appreciation for others’ experiences.
Facilitate connections among FFA advisors and chaperones, promoting collaboration and understanding of agricultural education programs and structures across the country.
