Minuteman FFA Chapter
The National FFA Organization, or FFA, is a nonprofit organization that helps students develop leadership and career skills through agricultural education. The name stands for Future Farmers of America, but the organization's mission has expanded to include students interested in a variety of careers related to agriculture.
