About: All students deserve the opportunity to experience premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. Through this unique event, students are invited to participate in FFA in a way they have never before been able to, by highlighting their skills at their educational level. This event is open to all agricultural education students/FFA members in grades 7-12+ with an emphasis on individuals with an intellectual disability, IEP, or 504 Plan. 

Format: Students will provide evidence of successfully engaging in agricultural education through one of the pathways or through an FFA-related activity. This could be a written document, video, drawing, poster, or other item that has been developed. If the student is comfortable in sharing their item with a committee, a 5-8 minute virtual interview will be conducted. All IEP modifications and accommodations will be honored throughout this event.
