Eligibility: FFA is not a "club." It is one of three integral components of an agricultural education program: classroom instruction, supervised agricultural experience and life skills. Students between the ages of 12 and 21 who are enrolled in a systematic course of instruction in agricultural education are eligible for membership. Your local school system must offer agricultural instruction and have an active FFA chapter for you to join.

Dues: Senior Members $7(State) + $5(National) = $12 total annual dues  

Junior Members $5(State) = $5 total annual dues
