Each year at the National FFA Convention & Expo, five awards are given to outstanding chapters across the nation. These chapters are recognized for exhibiting excellence in categories such as growing leaders, building communities, and strengthening agriculture. By providing educational experiences for members, the chapters have learned important life skills.
Premier Chapter: Growing Leaders Winner—Hope FFA of Indiana
After recognizing a rise in suicides, Hope FFA was determined to create a cultural change. The chapter began a campaign titled “Go Live Yourself.”
Members collaborated with their school administration to hold a convocation encouraging students to be better friends, partners and leaders. They also taught peers coping strategies and how to help others, as well as themselves.
Hope FFA encourages everyone to find peace and help one another.
